    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Anyone use Gtechniq W6 on wheels? A mate of mine reckons it's pretty good, I've only ever used C4 Trim restorer by them and that is very good so I wondered.

    How distracting are touchscreens in cars

    It does make you wonder at what age cars will start to be binned because the infotainment system has died if for example you can't change the heat settings without it.

    How distracting are touchscreens in cars

    I think they look great and have been looking at BEVs in a hot hatch sort of format, but nothing has the range I need or anything close. Back on topic, I saw this article about safety of touchscreens https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/analysis-car-makers-face-screen-test-judge-safety

    How distracting are touchscreens in cars

    As above I've read that screens are much cheaper than proper controls. Even if the touch element is reduced, many now seem to me very distracting just because they are there, the new Honda E for a start... I've also read somewhere that NCAP are going to start rating touchscreens for safety...

    Silvervision

    I had actual Silvervisions but got rid as they were really dim. Recently got some Halfords ones and surprisingly they are really good! I only changed from standard as the orange colour was flaking off and I had to fish it out of the lens with double sided tape wrapped around a wire

    Anyone else Like TR Hamza? He has mostly VAG cars which I don't have a particular interest in, but I find him quite good to watch for some reason I can't put my finger on...

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Just watched the latest instalment and have a question @MarkCup, why do you use left foot braking in a RWD car. I understand that with front wheel drive cars you can get the back out by doing it, but am ignorant about RWD.

    Locking wheel nuts

    I wouldn't bother with them as they always end up being a pain, nowadays when I get a car with them on then I bin them straight away.

    Rear washer switch sends water out the front

    Have a look at this link... The pump does both front and rear screens and the piston onside gets soggy so it won't move. You cut a bit off and it works as in the YT vid. I did it on my daughter's Clio and on my Citroen, not too hard

    Probably no one will be interested, but here goes anyway... 2005-2012 V70 T5 After the kids were grown up and I bought them both a Clio to learn in I couldn't decide what to get... Bought a C4 VTS as a stop gap... Written off the same year... I really liked it so got another one, this time...

    Write Off or Not??

    My daughter's 2002 Clio 1.2 had very similar damage just over two week ago, after someone pulled in front of her & she didn't quite stop in time. They admitted fault and we said to just give us £50 to cover some rattle cans. The other party didn't want this and put it through insurance, they...

    Head Unit / CD Player that doesnt have annoying 2 seconds gaps between tracks?

    Isn't the gap between tracks decided when the CD is burnt? I think some sofware will let you choose the length of gap (MediaMonkey?) and some will not, can't remember if itunes or Mediaplayer do or not. Edit; itunes

    a18too titchfield

    Bit of a thread resurrection here, but I saw A18TOO on a Blue (either Mondial or Arctic) 1*2 in Portsmouth last night. Even though we followed it for quite a few miles, Mrs Concern only managed photos of it so bad that the reg plate was illegible! Any one own this? What a great plate for a 1*2

    Recommend a snow foam

    I just tried the Bilt Hamber Auto foam after the recommendation from @gally and was amazed by how wel it worked. I looked at the ininstructions on the can which said "spray on, leave 5 or ten minutes, wash off". Did this on my car, not too dirty, but been sitting on drive since before the snow...

    Some honest advice needed

    Keep the VTS 180, I'm on my 3rd one (last one did 197000 miles). Nothing looks like it and you can pretend to be Seastien Loeb or Liam Doran!

    Mk2 Ph1 1.2 ignition switch prob

    My daughter's Clio Mk2 Ph1 Clio has a problem with the ignition switch. The key does not return when turned to the starter position on it's own. I imagine the spring has broken. Is this likely & can it be repaired or should I look for a new lock set? If I do go for a lock set, can I still use...

    Mk 3 central locking boot problem

    My sister has a Mk 3 2010 & recently when using the remote to unlock (press twice to unlock all doors) the boot pops open. My first thought was the wiring into the hatch broken, is this a common fault? If not what is the likely problem?
