Was thinking of getting a waffle weave towel off this guy and wondered what folks reckon to his waxes. Poorboys stuff. I've got a black ph1 and use Megs pads for application and MF clothes for removal. I've been using SRP, EGP, then Autosmart Carnauba Gold. Think the gold looks a bit swirly in...

In the book it says the indicator is a standard pear shaped P 21 W bulb but I've searched on here and everyone seems to say it's PY 21 W. The first is opposite (382) and the other is offset (581) So which do I want for a phase1 2001 Clio (old style twin headlight not new xenon ones)...

Seen I few and just wondered why?!? I think I saw a mule/donkey sticker on back of one which made me even more curious. Anyone know?

On way home this yellowey green Elise appeared behind me. I overtook a car and he followed. I overtook another two and he followed again. I thought right clear road we're on. So I gave it my all and he didn't gain at all on me. Next set of lights he didn't even bother! He didn't look so happy...

Is there any way. I like to sit far back cause I have long legs but sometimes I feel too far from steering wheel. My everyday cars steering wheel is telescopic and it's less tiring to drive. If I got an aftermarket wheel is there one that is closer and a bit smaller in diameter.

Was staring at car and driver looked at me like I was staring at his missus. Oh well shame it was the V6 that got my attention and he didn't realise!

I know everyone has posted this to death but... Changed dogbone mount with Hillpowers uprated one, worked great knocking nearly gone. Tightened drivers side one, better still. Tried to change lower gearbox mount but didn't manage it, tried to remove battery plate but wouldn't come off...

Right my mate works at tire place. Other day met him at pub and he'd had a full stainless zorst fitted to his Vectra Turbo Limited Edition 100 or whatever it is. Anyway also noticed he'd added some crome off Sigma to front bumper (near fogs) and siad the whole car was looking right nice. Not...

It's the one that like a sandwiche. Heard you can't see it unless you take passenger side wheel of. Renault said most likely one for knocking noise as I have uprated dogbone. Anyone got a quick guide of how to get to and change. Does engine need supporting etc. Thanks oh part no is: 77 00...

...for my 172. Any suggestions where I can get some since sick of the rusty ones they come with. Is there a specific size or anything?

Brought a OZ F1 15" Alloy. Checked it had right offset and it arrived today. I was sooo happy. Brand new and looked mint. Put some wheel sealant on, jacked car up and took old alloy off. Shot down to tire place. Left it with him. Got back and he said the new one is an inch thinner and the tire...

It's for a mate. He wants to pay me so how much should I say? Bear in mind I need to buy new sponge and compound.

When I go over bumps handling becomes unsettled and a rattle seems to come from near wheels or at least that area. Done engine mounts and can happen when not accelerating hard.

Hillpower was too busy. Stealers wanted £246 not inc parts. Eurocars wanted £173 and most garage wouldn't give me a price or just didn't want to do it! Anyway found this timing belt center on Porchester road, Nottingham. Did it for £120. Had to buy kit for £50 but think thats a good deal...

Tried Hillpower he's too busy. Want my AUX belt changed Thursday or Friday. Anyone help? I'm willing to travel if I can wait for the work to be done. It REALLY needs doing and I'm starting to worry. Tried Protune at Jacksdale and he wanted to take aircon apart and charge 5.5 hours Tried...

Ok here goes. I took the parcel shelf off. The plastic panel off boot lid. Dropped seats forward and I can still hear a noticealbe skweek for rear of car. As go over speed humps it's most noticeable. Sometimes it's goes but always comes back. Tried pulling things around rocking car etc and no...

Does it mean there is something wrong with them. Sometimes sound like they are catching as well. If I touch brake it sometimes goes away.

Hi My mate is an ex valeter and we've brought a rotary between three of us. All we need now is some pads or mops. Which is better them big sponge mops or 5 inch backing plate and some 6 inch Megs pads. He wants to do his van which has had sign writing on it. Got some compound that will...

I'm sure this should be glued right onto windscreen so what runs down plastic towards scuttle plate area but mines coming off. What should I get/use to re-attach it? Anyone had this happen?

Hi My Aux belt had started squeaking. Took to garage and mechanic said the tensioner isn't pulling properly and has seized up. He said he will take it to bits Wednesday and sort. Now the question is if he thinks it's fine should I just pay the labour and have new belt or should I get a new...

Ok I've so far: Washed Clayed Washed again and dried with some QD SRP EGP Carnuaba Only think is the carnuaba is AutoSmarts that I erm aquired and I don't think I rate it. Car looked it's best after SRP I think. Also got some Autosmart Reglaze. It ain't bad for a really quick wet look but...

Ok I've changed dogbone on ph1 172 and the knocking has gone when hit 5k in first. Only problem left is if I am pulling out of a junction and the road is a bit uneven. I put my foot down and as it struggles for grip I get a knocking sound from engine bay on drivers side. Before the knocking...

Anyone interested in refurbing my wheels. If so price and how long will take. They are the standard OZ on ph1.

I've just had to buy a new fog light since one shattered on motorway! Now the new one gleams and looks great and now the other one and the headlights look crap. What can I do to improve the look of them (glass polish or something) without just buying new ones!

Might be the rubbers. You could adjust them on my last car till the boot was quite loose or really tight. Anyway if I open boot then drive off (after shutting it obviously) I hear this rubbing squeaky sound that last for about ten miles. What do I adjust tighten to fix this rattle. So far...

Looked miles away as flashed em. No stickers but was like seeing my car go past so though would put a spotted up. First black ph1 I've seen since buying mine (on the road.)
