Yes, I meant the shells, I eat the contents, they are tasty

jtonline mentions the cleaning aspects of modern fuels, if only that was true nowadays. The Skyactiv engines, like many other modern engines use direct injection into the combustion chambers therefore the fuel does not pass through the inlet valves but directly into the combustion chambers. The effe...

Oh, the old chestnut of supermarket fuels. As far as I know the fuel comes from the same refineries as the brand leaders, the difference is the additives. I cannot comment on the CX-3, neither the petrol or diesel are performace cars. But I do have an opinion at the other end of the spectrum. My Nis...

Once you have seen it, you can't ignore it. I agree being off centre is very irritating if you are a bit OCD. I just want to find out how to get the panel off and remove the offending bulb.

I agree about the gearbox. My last car was a VAG model with the DSG box. Although it worked well and gave no problems I prefer the old torque converter box of the Mazda. It still has the manual override and flappy paddles if so desired. If only I could prise it out of my wifes hands and drive it mys...

Thanks Greenman, I will give it a try.

Hi all,

Maybe it's my age but I cannot for the life of me find out how to delete past addresses from the history. It seems it is possible to delete favourites. Do I have to transfer the history to the favs then delete. Would seem a bit long winded.
