I know that technically this should go in the Sales section, but I figure if it's in here then the regulars may get first sight of it................ I've been going through my garage having a lockdown tidy up and I've found several items I will never be likely to need again, so it makes sense to of...

30% more fuel for same power as before. But in my case since power rised then maybe +50% fuel consumption on peak power.

Ah that makes more sense. Thank you.
Your initial statement seemed to read more power for same fuel.

Call me a cynic, but I would be taking that with 1/16 of a teaspoonful of NaCL. Martin, Ethanol has a far lower calorific value than petrol: A gallon of gasoline provides one-third more energy than a gallon of ethanol. Blending ethanol and gasoline at a ratio of 85 percent to 15 percent (E85), the ...

In my car E85 fuel gave me aprox. 20% more power than compared to 98E5 fuel. ( I found no pretty much no difference with 99+ maybe 1-2bhb) Seriously? 20%? Even in a stock 3 litre that's an additional 27.6bhp! Just from changing fuel? If that is true, why does anyone bother to spend any money on eng...

Je ne sais pas

Hello and I must say I read this and got excited. Capri got used yesterday and as it was pretty much empty I thought I would take opportunity to brim it with this ethanol free stuff. I noticed at the Esso station though that even the Supreme+99 has an "E5" sticker on the pump, suggesting it has Eth...

Could just be the tyres. Get rid of the Goodyear Eagles

Not tried it myself, but I'm told a lot of good things about Esso's new Fuel - Synergy Supreme + 99 RON. For a starter it is apparently ethanol free. It contains 'double detergent additives and a friction modifier'. 99 RON makes it a good match for the old Capri engines and it seems to be selling ab...

Hoppy Biffday MT!

Hope you have a good one.
Shame about lockdown though, the short back'n'sides will have to wait.

Nah Bug, dont start licking them or you will have to do it every time.

Keeps your ears warm through these cold winter months!

Do you swallow them, or just gently lick them for a while?

I had a similar problem years ago. Didn't realise the alarm had it's own internal battery. That had gone flat.
I got away with reconnecting the battery and leaving it for a couple of days until it recharged the alarm one.
Not sure if that would work for you though?

I got mine in 1987.
Looked a little different though.
Probably a collectible now?

If you stuffed that melon for Xmas lunch, would it be a Citrus Saxo ?

Seems to come out the fine just slightly off colour. One is a glorious bright white the other more of a tinge to it.

Same make and rating of bulb?

Don't forget the Burton postage prices - double the order cost, increase it by your age and add the number you first thought of. That's a relief! When I saw 'pbar' in the replies I immediately thought, here we go, he's going to ask someone to crawl under their car again to check a gearbox number or...
