Rev Bobs Torque Show?

The price is only "an invitation to purchase" at that pirce... face

The interior light buzzing is, i believe, the climate control temperature sensor fan running. Cant do much about it, iim afraid. After 18 months, I dont hear it anymore - I have WAY to many other rattles drowning it out!!! On a similar note about trip computers, mine has now decided to reset...

That almost looks like a 172...

I say go for the very cheapest tyres you can find and then count the savings you have made as you spin into a tree on the first wet corner you come to. Not really, obviously, but when you consider that tyres are the only thing between you and the road, surely buying quality tyres must make...

Hi, The front and rear wipers on my mk2 172 are crap. Even with a perfectly clean windscreen (tried proprietary glass cleaners, meths, alcohol) and clean blades, the wipers smear - its almost like theyre not removing all the water and leaving a very thin flim/smear of water behind. SOOOOO...

Try Alex at www.seriousperformance.co.uk for all meguiars stuff (plus other stuff which is WAY better than megs – concours waxes and the like) as he gives free p+p. HartgeBob - nice to see someone else who knows about fully cured factory paint ;-) Face

Im in Norwich!

Thats true, it shouldnt. But pure carnauba is as hard as a brick, hence petroleum d is used to soften it. BUT there are diff. levels of P D - the more times it has been distilled to remove impurities the better. Still want as little of it as possible in my waxes. Some of the expensive zymol...

The zymol in the bottle is pretty good stuff. its actually made under license by turtle wax. It is a b**ch for streaking tho. As lee M says, you must mist it with water and buff off. In fact misting and buffing and carnauba wax is a good idea. before you buy anything, check out...

Get a good polish, with as little petroleum distalates as possible. Are you working by hand or RO? After youve polished, use a glaze like 3Ms Imperial hand glaze. Top off with a good quality pure wax (again, as little petroleum d as possible, avoid stuff like turtle wax, etc)...

Me too, esp. if no excess and includes dings and things.

Me... Norwich.

Meguairs Hot Rims - spray on - let sit a while - hose off. Good quality motorcycle wheel cleaner, like P21S or S100 from Harley dealers.

theres an 02 plate (at least i think it was 02) near me, at an independent for 10,699!!!
