    pressure washers

    I use my pressure washer on my painted calipers and its never affected the paint . If the paint is coming off then i'd say its down to bad preparation and not cleaning / degreasing the calipers good enough in the first place .

    pressure washers

    I did use a bucket originally , now i use a homebrew fermenting bin as the bucket soon ran out of water . Run a short length of hose into the bin through a hole on the lid . A couple of capfuls of shampoo and bobs your uncle . The fermenting bins are only cheap , around a tenner with a lid ...

    pressure washers

    I've used one for years . Never had a problem . If you attach a short length of hose to a bucket filled with water and a couple of capfuls of shampoo they create alot of foam , good for giving the car a good prewash soak . A good alternative to the gilmour ;)

    LPG Conversion... Yes/No?

    My mate has an astra LPG . He hardly ever runs it on petrol , only when he starts the car . After it's been running a minute or two it automatically switches over to LPG . If it's installed correctly you'll only see maybe a couple of bhp down on standard which you wouldn't notice . You'll just...

    paint matches?

    Try a local motor part suppliers ,they usually mix paint . The one i use supplies local garages with parts but sells to the public as well . Always spot on with their colour match .

    32" FLAT Screen anyone know any deals?

    ^^^ The thing is with Aldi . They have a money back , no questions asked policy . If you don't like it you can have your money back . Plus you always get a 3 year warranty so thats got to be worth a few quid in itself .

    2002 172 ff and alarms

    Imports definitely didn't come fitted with an alarm , just the immobiliser . If its a UK version it should have an alarm fitted as standard at the import centre when it arrived in the UK .

    2002 172 ff and alarms

    Like foxy says , the led is " usually " down by the gear stick if its a standard alarm . Unless its an import , they didn't come fitted with alarms . Mines an import , has an aftermarket alarm and the led is in the dash .

    Water leak in car?

    ^^^ I haven't a clue mate . Could be something to do with manufacturing process of the car ?? Hence they needed to fill the 2 holes with grommets .

    Water leak in car?

    Water can be a b4stard to trace . Could be what Martin says , rear wash wipe . Could be a leaking rear window or the black grommets on inside the tailgate when you lift the hatch .Also check under the rear seats , water can find its way under there as well . I had the same problem on my 172 and...

    paint matches?

    If the paints not matching its not matching , simple as . Lacquering won't change the shade it will only give a gloss finish . I'd get back on to autopaint if i were you . I used autopaint years ago on my Pug 306 and the match wasn't that good either . I use a local motor spares place now and...

    How do you get polish off plastics?

    ^^^ The only way you'll only really remove wax or dissolve it is to use a solvent like turps .

    How do you get polish off plastics?

    I use wd40 all the time on my black plastic bits , works as good as anything else i've ever tried . Most products just mask the white marks not actually remove them .

    £10,000 are they avin a laff ? :eek: iirc they are only about £1500 new .

    Brakes?? ABS??

    Maybe since having your new discs fitted the abs sensor has been knocked . They are suppose to have a specific clearance between the sensor and reluctor ring . I'd check that if i were you , maybe just pull out the sensor and give it a clean . See if that makes any difference .
