  1. That's 37mpg. Can be good depending on the driving conditions. Lots of very short trips!
  2. madonnaluciana is trying to get their website going.
  3. No such thing as easy money.
  4. SHELDON MOT CENTRE LIMITED is also trading from the same site, owned by the same person. The latest accounts being filed for both companies says that no trading is taking place! Dodgy or what???
  5. This got me checking my own diesel vehicle, registered April 2016, and is on a private plate. Decoding the VIN tells me that it is a 2016 Model Year Vehicle, yet the Vehicle Certification Agency website holds conflicting data. I can only find my vehicle by telling the site that it is a 2015 my vehicle. This gives different emmissions to my registration certificate. Both though say that it is Euro 6 compliant. Transport For London say my vehicle is not compliant. Whether this is due to the plate change or not I dont know, but it looks like agro to now sort this out, should I wish to drive into London. Things are not as clear cut as they seem.
  6. You need a 3 phase power supply for commercial charging points to cope with the fast charge demand.
  7. The last accounts filed for Saxon Bridge were up to 31 August 2017. No wonder the stocking funders withdrew their support and took the stock away. So easy to blame it on Brexit!!
  8. Doesn't his own insurance cover him for 3rd party if he is driving something else?
  9. Oh so wrong!!!!! If the vehicle has, or should have a particulate filter fitted, and it emits smoke, then that is a fail! As for the other remark about the tester confiscating your keys, you obviously don't under stand how the MOT system works
  10. Applies to the Police as well!
  11. Lost of Money They seem to go at Auction for lots of money.
  12. Renaultsport Clio 182. Not your bog standard put put. More fun than the later sports versions.
  13. They are referring to vehicles that have a DPF fitted. They should not emit smoke.
  14. It's the electronic control unit on the turbo that fails for a pass time. Originally a body off the chassis job, buy inventive people have designed tools to do the job of undoing bolts that you cannot see without splitting the vehicle. Still a mammoth job. Not for the feint hearted.
  15. Probably traction control or ABS or DPF.
  16. AA shares are in freefall. Closed at 75.52p. Down nearly 200p in a year! Might be closed by Thurdsay!
  17. Neither Shell nor BP have refineries in the UK. Their fuel come from the same terminals as the supermarkets. Their was an issue with contamination in the South West recently with Diesel from one of the terminals. Some of the supermarkets were affected. So were some of the oil companies, but they were not so open about the problem. People do add used cooking oils to their fuel whilst filling up. I seen it done to both new and old cars! Try to get them to admit to it when their is a problem! Look at how olive oil sets when cold. False economy.
  18. 1. Because you think it's basically filtered chip fat!! 2. 100% Bio Diesel last night was trading 18.618 ppl more than Diesel. Therefore a bioblend of 7% would cost more than a bioblend of 5%
  19. All diesel sold has a percentage of biodiesel in it. The only difference between fuel sold in supermarkets and fuel sold by the oil companies is the additives used. Sorry, but total crap.
  20. I personally feel that the guides are totally outdated these days. How many of you admit pricing stock realistically based upon what others are selling for in your area!
  21. This can open up a can of worms. Forecourts. Land where the public have access, particularly where a shop of petrol station or workshop are involved.
