    What you guys using in your cars? Magic trees don't last long enough for me and don't smell that great.

    172 exhausts

    So the cup I've bought has a standard exhaust (can you believe it). It's in good condition but I'm contemplating buying another unit. I like the noise of the standard one, it's nice and subtle, no drone at all and that's how I like it. Anything out there similar that will last longer than...

    Exhaust banging on body when going over bumps?

    I'm not sure why it's doing it to be honest. I've replaced the rear hanger and it's still there. Car is a 172 cup and it's a standard exhaust. The exhaust seems to sit at a funny angle but not sure where to start

    172 cup thoughts?

    http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/141783132925 The guy seems like a bit of a part time salesman. Anyone been to see it? Seems well priced to me from the description and photos. Found the guy via Facebook using his number. Not sure what I think!

    Just bought a 172, having doubts!

    As stated just bought a nice 172 Monaco for cheap. I reckon it needs the belts doing..the dephaser is rattling. Receipt from 2012 for the belts. Just thinking I may just get rid of it, was blinded by the cheap price. Is there any point spending £600 on getting the belts done when that's what the...

    Detailing products - opinions on opening a shop

    So, I've been thinking about this for a while now. I can obtain a premise free of charge in Glasgow city centre. I'm no expert detailer but know a couple of bits and bobs. My proposal would be to open a shop purely containing high end detailing products for enthusiasts like us. Good quality...

    Headlight bulb issue

    One of them went out tonight so replaced it. Fiddly job but all went together easily. Issue is it won't clip back into the holder inside the light. One of the clips goes on but the other doesn't during the small turn to clip it in. Any ideas how to rectify this? The clips don't look misshaped...
