Guys, I've just taken on a job I wish I never.... Got an Mgf with a tan mohair roof. It's been stood under a tree and is mired in mould and s**t. I've had interior cleaner, basic TFR and extra heavy duty (neat!) on it, scrubbed it, had my 90c 1600psi steamer on it and nothing is shifting it...

I've loved this car ever since first seeing it on here. As soon as I saw that it was for sale I had a word with myself and said ''No. You're 33 and have no need what so ever for this car. Move along.'' So yeah, that worked....

As above. Any recommendations? I love SRP. It's easy on, easy off, minimal dust and as I do 3/4 cars a day it's ideal. But I'm about to run out so want to try something different if someone can confirm that there's better out there? If not i'll gladly stick with it.

Well, sort of. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-FORD-ORION-GHIA-I-RED-INJECTION-/171055583036?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27d3b50f3c If I'd have said 'Crap car' you wouldn't have looked would you!

Hello. I've removed the recaros (that were fitted at factory) and replaced them with standard seats. I now have my serv and airbag lights on the dash. Is this because of the lack of side airbags on the recaros? What can I do to solve this? Swap airbag ecu's as well or could clip solve my...

What can be used to 'dissolve' white grease. I am using the strongest degreaser on the market and a 90 degree hot pressure washer and all it does is smear everywhere. Start polishing a car and a tiny little spot then contaminates my pad/cloth etc and basically ruin my day. Help me please...

So last week I had a customer tell me about a mondeo he's had in his lock up since September 2011. He left it there because it came in px covered in dog hair, dog vomit, and just general ming. Today I made a good solid start on it but really it's a three day job so i'll come back to it at a...

Own up! Who waved at my mate (in my Racing blue 182) and made his girlfriend embarrassed! (Car geek waving she called it! lol)

I'm after a wiring diagram for a 182. I've got a 182 with an issue with the throttle body dropping power. So ideally i'd like any diagrams relating to this? ​Can anyone point me in the right direction at all please?

I had this in for a proper spruce up. Needed the works as it had spent its life going through a carwash, the paint was fcuked. The headlights were also battered. I'm getting the hang of this now! Give it another 32 years and I may get REALLY good... (Phone pics, sorry) Reflection shot of...

I've finally managed to pursuade him to change for something newer. The car has been faultless for 40,000 miles. He bought it from me at 51k and it's now on 91k. All of this mileage has been covered on the M4 over the last 2.5 years as he commutes to London. Very good car! Taxed, MOT'd, ready...

Took this in px yesterday. 2nd gear is notchy for the first 2/3 changes, (When it's cold) fine after that. Lacquers peeling off all down the drivers side. Drives well though. Cheap car for someone! (I didn't write the advert, any questions just ask!)...

I need a bias valve. Which one should I buy? I'm not into experimenting and infinate adjustments, I am the sort to just set it where I like it and then i'll probably leave it alone. Something like this...

This was 10,000 miles of zafira dust on a previous customers car. Spray on, leave for 1 minute, pressure wash off. Best stuff in the world! :-) (Lethal though, it eats through Tarmac! Lol)

Over some breakfast this morning, my business partner and I discussed getting an ipad for me up at the valeters so I can look at/buy cars. Come 10am the mongo has gone and ordered 3 i-pad mini's for all of us at work. Each ipad is 4g, unlimited use, £26 per month for 12 months. (I know nothing...

As above. Cup is the non aircon model if that matters.

Easy. You make them fit. (This is a mates car, NOT mine! lol)

Can you get them for industrial type steamers/pressure washers? I'd love one for work but don't want to buy a karcher just for the snowfoam.

As above. I have an old car in red and its starting to fade. It's not by any means knackered but its faded none the less. Today i've spent a long time degreasing the car etc and i've left it indoors to dry properly. Tomorrow i'm going to machine it in my normal manner, then what should I put...

As my mates unit is going (my old one!) both he and I are clearing out all of our cars/projects/toys. Expect lots of adverts in the coming weeks! (My cars will be in the cars for sale section) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261154383994?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So this morning I get a call from someone I got friendly with in magaluf of all places. Asked me to recover his van and take it to his house. As he owns a carpentry company I was expecting one of his blokes beat up old vauxhall combo's or similar when I got there. Instead I was greeted with...

I must have seen you about 10 times in the last week!

I need one of these for a 182 Cup. But I can't find one because I don't know what it is or what it's called. It sits on the steering column behind the steering wheel, and rotates inside itself.

Copied and pasted, I apologize. Ill fitting tailgate due to creased boot floor... Some seagull s**t holding the windscreen trim in place...

I had a 172 come back under warranty with a misfire. Whipped it all apart and it had blown the plug out of the far left chamber. The (Bosch super 4!!! Grrrr) plugs were minging so I replaced them with new genuine ones, fitted all up tightly and perfectly, and away the guy went. This was about...

1989 Ford orion 1.6i Ghia. Bought and collected it today from Wakefield which was an 11 hour round trip... And it's still in Yorkshire! I had to collect Mike Jenics 172 Cup that I bought off him 2/3 weeks ago and took a mate to drive the orion back. But we got there and the car has been...
