From what I've read, it appears to be a K series type concern - i.e. similar engine in a different application ( K series was a small capacity/powered engine fitted to a heavier car like a Freelander). There is a design difference (unsure what specifically) between the CUAA engines in the...

A second daily tank has landed, earlier than I was considering but effectively (lucky me) inherited based on my father's despising dealerships and trade in. 2016 Passat B8 estate 2l BiTDI, DSG, 4Motion It was a press car, I am led to believe. It has every option ticked bar leather (suits me...

I've kindly inherited a VW Passat BiTD estate from my father. He's damned if he'll trade in with Volvo for half its value and doesn't want to deal with Joe Public... 16 plate, 80k miles (50% covered in the last three years as he drives NW to SW a lot for a few building projects). It's a mega...

If they're not in bad nick, yes - it'll give a good "as new" finish. But it's not a product that will bring greyed plastic back to black. It's a sealant not a dye.

Remember it doesn't go a huge way to making the plastics black again. It seals them. How grey are they?

Which one are you using?

It'll likely damage if not remove the ceramic coat.

Cheers, Riz!

FRP!! Cheers Kev.

What’s the go to QD these days? I’m about out of Bouncers Done & Dusted after about 5 years!

If they're unfinished metal, buy some metal polish and a drill attachment from Amazon or Ebay (or probably Halfrauds). Treat it like an exhaust. If they've been lacquered, as above but with something basic like Super Resin Polish. That'll do it. If you're local, pop over (Surrey).

That's interesting as I was specifically advised the polar opposite i.e. Apple watches were found to be more accurate than the Garmins. My watch was spot on versus the timing chip for the run on the weekend, but will see how I get on. I bought from Amazon so if it's not up to scratch, I'll...

Cheers, Mike. I agree, the charging thing has already started to annoy me. Heading up to the Lakes, I've had to buy an in car USBC charger and two USBC plugs, given the SE watch doesn't come with anything but a wire... However, tracking at the weekend on a run and it is doing what I want it to...

While the ForeRunner 55 had exactly what I wanted (just tracking times better while running tbh), for £129, it seemed silly not to get something more and future proof a bit. Bought an Apple Watch SE Gen 2 in an Amazon March deal. Testing on Saturday for the Coniston 14m!
