Since 1998 Peugeot has engineered all its HDi diesel engines to run on biofuels, showcased in 2004 with the launch of the Peugeot RC Cup Motorsport championship. The RC Cup championship uses racing cars based on the 2002 Peugeot RC diamond concept car. The cars are all powered by an HDi diesel engine running on biofuel (Diester) and incorporating a diesel particulate filter system (DPFS). In the RC Cup the Diester fuel has a mixture of 50% Biofuel and 50% diesel. This flexibility of the Peugeot HDi diesel engine means that today, all current Peugeot diesel vehicles can be run on a blend of 30% vegetable oil methylester/diesel biofuel, without any modification.

A businessman accused of putting down thousands of greyhounds fears for his life after receiving death threats. A Sunday Times investigation claimed David Smith, of Seaham, County Durham, had shot 10,000 dogs with a bolt gun and buried them in his allotment. Following the death threats, he has now installed security cameras at his home, according to a family friend. Durham Police said Mr Smith, a builders' merchant, holds a bolt gun legally and has committed no offence.

The investigation alleged that the greyhounds, which are usually retired aged about four, were killed over the past 15 years at a charge of £10 per dog. Full Article

Is it a coupe, is it a cabriolet? Well, the answer is both because the neat folding hardtop drops into the boot, to give you the best of both worlds! Megane wasn''t the first car to offer such a clever design and it has always played catch up with the Peuegot 307 CC.

This is a decent looking car, with sleek lines and a more upmarket image than the price tag suggests. It also has the benefit of a diesel engine - a 120bhp turbodiesel that isn’t particularly quick, but does help combine practicality with fun weekend jaunts. Full Article
