I use wd40 on black trim when white bits start appearing . Works as good as any of these so called " trim restorers " is very durable and being an oil repels water well .
Spray it on an old cloth and rub it in , buff off any excess .
I used a very weak solution of Megs APC on a stain . Sprayed it on , left to dwell for a couple of minutes then wiped off with a damp microfibre cloth . Job done , stain gone :)
I'm assuming you could use AG interior shampoo as thats dilutable and not as strong as the megs , i just didn't...
Not leds , but i got some philips bluevison sidelight bulbs free with my silvervisions , i have these in my interior and map light . Slightly brighter and whiter than the originals .
WD40 for me as FM-696 says , spray it onto an old cloth and rub into the plastic . Voila , white marks gone ;)
I have the Blackwow , but yet to try it .
I struggled for half an hour trying to get the drivers side led in . I have pretty big hands and it was impossible to hold the bulb holder with one hand and push the led in with the other .
Got it sussed now though . Get a piece of 10mm plastic tubing , put the led in the end of the tube ...
Just take any power gains from any exhaust manufacturer with a pinch of salt . Having said that , i had a Powerflow ( Burnley ) stealth on my old 172 and was very happy with it .
This is my spare wheel i refurbed .
If you go to a good body shop suppliers they should be able to mix up some paint that is a good match and put it in aerosols for you .
Rover stone grey .
From this :
To this :
Only the wheel was sprayed not the centre cap , so i'm happy...
None are a perfect match . I had some Rover stone grey knocked up at a local body shop supplies , but he tweaked it slightly adding a bit more red . Peugeot cossack grey is similar , Ford do one as well thats similar , forgot the name though . But like i said none are 100% perfect .
Iirc...
I was just thinking you'll have two 90 degree elbows then a reducer inside the elbow going behind the headlight , this might make it a bit too long and push the filter too far towards the wing , unless of course you cut down one of the 90 degrees . I'd just stick to all 70mm , elbows , alloy...
Just go for one with a 70mm inlet , if you get a reducer you'll also be adding to the length of the pipe and might struggle fitting the filter in . Off the top of my head its 14mm for the crankcase breather pipe .
Go for it mate . You'll most likely get slagged off for heat soak but i doubt it will suffer any at all . I looked at ITG foam filters before but i wasn't sure on the actual size of the filter so i opted for a green cotton filter . I suppose you could always ring merlin and ask them how big they...
I've owned a PH2 172 and i currently own a 182 with cup packs . It's basically the same car , cosmetic differences on the 182 are the twin exhausts , alloys , usually anthracite as most have cup packs ,larger rear spoiler ,front splitter and silver seat belts .
Performance , no difference ...
Not being funny mate . But i wouldn't have bought it with the service light on . Was it from a garage or a private sale ? If it was from a garage take it back to the garage you bought it from .
Taking the bulb out isn't really solving any underlying problem , just hiding it .
