I'm hoping the weather improves tomorrow so I can change my alternator and flush my coolant before fitting a new radiator and condenser. I've read @bloke mention in the past about running a dissolved dishwasher tablet through it while the system gets up to temperature to give it all good clean...

I'm trying to get to the bottom of the poor signal on the radio in my 172, FM is ok, could be better but works where as AM and MW are non existent. I've checked the aerial lead on the headunit and wiggled the leads at the aerial lead but no improvement. Is it definitely a case of needing a...

I'm in a bit of a quandary over my Flame red 172 since watching @RustyMojo do the bold thing in buying a cleaner example rather than keep throwing cash at a rough car. I've been blindly plugging away getting the rear beam and all the underside stripped back and rust treated while the bodywork...
