Thanks for translating guys, had no idea what he was on about.

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fecking temperamental.

There are, but sometimes if VOSA still have suspicions they can remove the filter and see if it is dyed with a colour. Yes

Yep, VOSA can make the assumption that you've been running on that fuel since the car was new and tax you duty on the amount of litres it would taken for you to achieve the mileage you have.
So in effect if your car had 100,000 miles on it when you were caught that's a big bill to pay! Shock

It can also come with a custodial sentence and seizure of the vehicle as you have basically committed fraud by keeping owed taxes from the government. Yes
