petrol

I'm going to be selling the 540Ci and getting a small - swb landy or rav4 size 4wd car for the winter. looking at around £4k outlay Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as to which one to get. I've scoured the markets and shortened the selection to; Scubby outback Rav4 Merc ML any...

Saw a T at the Tesco petrol station with the owner getting some cash out, had modified exhaust possibly as scorpion??

right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...

Hi guys The sad time has come when I'm going to have to sell my Trophy. I don't really want to but I've just bought a Lotus Elise and can't justify owning two cars. My question is, what's it worth? It's an 06 plate, but it's done 102k miles (mostly motorway driving so they've been "kind"...

Due to change of circumstances with work im now needing a van, i have been to a few garages and been thinking about p/x the clio. as the max theyll give me is about 3500 ive decided to put it on here for 4000 for a quick sale 2nd owner FSH 77k excellent condition, just been serviced and timing...

ill start..... my white 3 door after some tw4t nicked a bus at 2am, this was the aftermath: the keen eye will also notice the 16v clio too, taken in part ex for the ERST i had before this. next up: wish i never sold it, and then this: and then: and then a pimp wagon lol: then...

Having just returned from the 'ring with another faultless performance from the Trophy I'm still convinced this is the best all-round car I've owned. The 2 degrees negative camber I had on the last geo-setup worked well but was less noticeable than I was expecting. It did seem to have better...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9550930.stm Looks like from next season the F1 coverage will be back to advert breaks and shoddy presenters again :( I don't know what the viewing figures are for F1, but I would imagine with three British drivers and some of the most...

drove the car to the petrol station today and noticed a little puddle under the car towards the back of the engine, im pretty sure its not coolant because it tastes and looks totally plain, we've had a lot of rain lately and now its dry and red hot and at first i thought maybe water had gathered...

Fingers crossed. Not expecting any problems, but you never know.

The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

call me thick but can anyone tell me what the sheet of sort of corrograted metal is under the car between the xhaust and the car? half of mine is hanging off and wanted to know if i could just pull it off or is it to stop heat or what? please help, cars goin in for mot this week and dont want it...

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Well even after nearly 6 years of ownership this little pocket rocket still surprises me. I know how quick it is on a B road, but in a straight line i always thought it slightly underpowered to take on the great and good of Germany's finest but boy was I wrong. 100 octane racing fuel on board...

Hi all, Took advantage of the weather today to give the car it's first mini-detail of the year: Snowfoamed 2bm Clayed SRP EGP Waxed with Zymol something-or-other etc... Spruces up alright tbh 8) Comments and criticism welcome. Cheers, Luke.

Spotted today at about 12.30. Parked up on the street outside what looked like a local independent petrol station. Reg was Y1 *** Any takers?

Ok today I bought 10£ of petrol, then on the way home all my warning lights flashed on this resulted on my petrol light staying on and no petrol being read by my trip computer !! This has happened a few times now, sometimes my engine actually cuts out when the warning lights come on ?? This is...

I just read on a recent topic that shell v power is good for reducing the carbon on piston heads. I've always used this up until recently as shell garages are becoming harder to find where I live, my nearest is about 20 miles away ! I've often wondered how much difference it makes using high...

Anyone else filled out a car blog on Pistonheads for their Trophy? Here's mine: http://www.pistonheads.com/members/showcar.asp?carId=135165 Can't believe how much i've spent :shock:

i woke this morning in a very good mood. went out to the trophy and put my work bag in the boot. shut the boot only to find that some little w$*ka had spray painted over the last letter of my number plate. the paint had dripped down onto the boot. as i was running late for work and the mrs was...

Hi, Just after the best product/ways to remove soot build up on my exhaust. Im running a Yozzasport so its quite noticeable, it hasn't been on the car long and makes it look really old. Builds up quick too! Any good exhaust cleaners anyone know of? or is it just a load of elbow grease? Thanks.
