Choosing right blend

YOU can use it without any problem. If the ethanol content creeps up to 25 per cent or more in the future then you would need to be careful, but that's not on the horizon.

A busted gearbox

IN SITUATIONS like this, carmakers generally take the view that you have had four years of trouble-free motoring so they won't pay for the whole repair. But 30 per cent sounds a pretty poor offer to me, I would go for at least 50 per cent.

Another crack like that . . .

I AM inclined to think it is a problem with your car. When a windscreen cracks like this, particularly more than once, I'd look for added stress such as a poor fit or a misshapen opening. If it's a used car, I'd suspect it has had a crash and the repairs haven't been done properly. If you bought it new, go back to Peugeot. You will have to negotiate a settlement, which may involve legal proceedings.
