| Oil Question | 13 Aug 2007 23:37 GMT | 10 |
Would any clever bods out there be able to tell me if Castrol GTX 10W-40 is mineral or synthetic. Also is it safe to use in a 1.4 8V Grande Punto (Petrol). Fiat say only use their Selinia - but I suppose they would say that at £££'s

My daughter has a Clio, 2003, today she came home and said that although she'd just put £10 petrol in the tank and the fuel gauge was showing quarter full, the low fuel warning light is lit, and on the 'computer' the 'miles to go before fill up' figure is blank.

I have a 1.4 K-Series engine that I had to rebuild the top end on recently, following a head-gasket failure. Ever since it was put back together it has taken about 5-6 seconds to start. After finding no air leaks, and checking everything else was in order, I tried turning the ...

My Mondeo, 2002 reg 1.8LX has just had a new battery fitted. I have recoded the radio etc but notice the outside temperature readout now shows F rather than C. I need to know the C temp for my work. The handbook does not tell you how to change it.

'98 E39 Radio type ign key When I press and hold button 1, all the windows open as they're supposed to. However, holding button 2 doesn't close the windows as it should. I'm not that fussed, but if it's a simple fix, I'll fix it.
