My pal had the injectors out, cleaned, then replaced, then replaced again,
aren't Skoda's based on VW's, yet they've got a better reputation for reliability than VW haven't they?. How the foc has that come about?
Quote My pal had the injectors out, cleaned, then replaced, then replaced again, My diesel Mondeo (probably the same engine) started to splutter on start up. Bit like fouled plugs on a petrol. Dealer downloaded an update to EMS, but it soon came back. Solved with doses of injector cleaner every 4 or 5 tanks. So £4 or so every 1500 miles. Seems to have improved my mpg too
Stuff you just put into the tank with >20 litres of fuel. I'm using Wynns version. 'Diesel Injector Cleaner'. Cheap and seems to work fine. BTW mines an old diesel with no particulate filter.
Also found in the past running the car on "premium" (higher octane) fuel made a difference to performance/economy too.
A Tesla S is claimed to have a battery range of 370 miles, whereas a fuel cell of equal weight would give a range of 2,700 miles, no need for charging points, fuel stations could become fuel cell retailers as he claims a very quick cell change time.

a university had measured the levels of palladium, rhodium and the other precious metals and found that some were at the levels at which they could be economically mined from the roadside verges
So that's what the bloke is doing with the litter picker and black bag. I always wondered.

At last, maybe the whole picture will start being considered:
It’s a about decarbonisation. We don’t have a choice in this – the world needs to drastically reduce it’s use of fossil fuels.
...says someone who drives a diesel car and rides 2 motorbikes which have little or no emission controls
