I dont really know if this is the right place to be asking this but I'm looking for some good car products, I have bought quite alot and tryed alot of things for cleaning/valeting but most of the things dont work that well or arnt worth the money. I just got a new car last month which the...

My friend asked me a question, and I thought... you guys here will know, because I wasnt sure. Q: Which one below would you use more petrol if you drove 1mile. 30MPH or 80MPH I thought the answer was 30mph, but Im not really sure. anyone know the fact? :-)

last week overtook me on the bypass at about 95/100mph, after straiton junction and just before sherrifhall roundabout, 30seconds later I seen the cops speeding past me... im guessing was after'ya? :-) let urself be known! I was in a black clio v3

The other day I turned on my lights and for some reason my dashboard backlight wouldnt come on... (speedometer and rev counter thingie), the backlight for my stereo etc were working fine.. just not my speedometer and rev counter? I tryed turning them on and off a few times(slowly), but nothing...

unlucky mate, Ive had 2 clios and never had any probs whatsoever. I know this doesnt make you feel any better but perhaps your just having a **** time at the mo, everyone does... keep the head up, it will pass. :-)

ahhh cool, when I went to college for the day back in school(ohhh longtime ago xD), It was on car mechanics, and I took an engine apart, sadly i forget what it looks like inside but.. I remember the guy showing us a car one, compared to a bus... and the bus had 6 cylinders and the car had 4 (i...

Ok, please bare with me here, I had a thought come up in my head about this and its probably 1+1 to you guys(simple), but I dont know... could someone explain... why a 1.6 engine can go faster than a 1.2/1.4 etc. Has it got more cylinders or whatever they are called? my last car(1.2)...

:)

I can safely say it has definately got a shade of blue in it, when looking at the light(s) it looks like a circluler magnifying glass... :) however when they are on... unless you bend down paralell to the lights, you cant see much just a white circle, and when you do.. you get blinded :( hehe...

It seems as though my lights arent Xenon, just simply have a blue shade round the outer part of the light, the best i can describe it is that round the edge of the light.. its a blue shade. my conclusion... dont know :) dont supose it REALLY matters, but I was just trying to find out the truth...

Yeah "corner lights" they call em I think, wasnt to keen on them at first, but the more I see em, the more i think they are pretty snazzy :D

Well... IIRC.. I didnt actually say I DIDNT want them.. did I? but I do think they look pretty cool and lets say.. I wouldnt be anoyed if I did have Xenon headlamps nor would I be disapointed, but I was just curious as if you read above, I said... "I can see a shade of blue". and im just...

Well the slower I go, the more MPG I get, I was doing 80mph on the motorway last night, and it droped to like.. 29.9, coming through town at about 30/35mph, it was 34.5mpg and funnily enough, when sitting in traffic... it goes up... strange

I do have one Again this might sound silly but, other than looking at them from a distance... is there any way to tell if they are Xenon headlamps? of course I have had them on and looked at em, but they are too bright, allmost blinded myself :-) and I remember reading few months ago about...

I dont want to sound stupid here, but if it isnt Xenon headlamps.. then how come I see a blue shade from reflections? could this be something else ? Its not my imagination because i see it all the time, so its not a one off Im starting to get confused myself =)
