Finally started the horrible task of removing the rust behind my fuel cap but I've found it tracks back under the underseal towards the rear light assembly. I've armed myself with BH deox gel, electrox and dynax ub by my question is after deoxing would I be best to electrox then dynax for just...

Ebay?

Stripped the fuel cap down to begin treating the rust, wasnt as bad as I'd thought but still not great (photos needed) but the worst bit is the rust that's got under the underseal near the rear light. Not looking forward to getting access to it

Thought so

Does that mean it's worth 10k now I've DA'd it?

Just thought I'd update this for anyone else thinking of getting a DA. I ended up getting a DAS 6 pro with chemical guys orange and white hexlogics and 3" blue and orange scholl pads. I used it for the first time this weekend with megs 105 and 205, what a transformation! The colour of my flame...

Mine has done this a few times after damp weather, from what I've read on here it's more likely a connection or wiring issue rather than a component. For the last 3 weeks it's been fine

More paint correction and polishing, DAS 6 pros are great cant believe it's taken me all these years to invest in one. I'd always thought I got a good finish by hand but a DA gets a such a good finish even on my 17 year old paint

Beats my manky bits of OSB!

Used my DAS 6 pro for the first time, not perfect correction yet but still 10 times better than before I started, it's almost a different colour now.

So just to confirm as I'm going to have a go at behind the fuel flap too - deox gel, electrox then my choice of top coat/underseal is the way to go or is there a need for hydrate 80 or use that rather than deox?

I'm thinking about tackling this very job myself, I'm thinking Deox gel, electrox then some good black underseal. Mine are worse than yours

Replaced the drivers side engine mount, gearbox selector bush (what a bas#@rd to get out) and return spring. Also fitted a Richbrook gear knob to replace my melting sticky original.

use PRICEWIN until 23:59 tonight!

M10 × 1.5

Just had a half hearted glimpse under my car, the spring that returns the gear stick to neutral is snapped and hanging down and the white bush is pretty sloppy

Wouldn't do 5th either but the hill I was going up it wouldn't have been an option, just 1st, 2nd, 4th. Didn't try reverse to be honest

I think they may have trimmed the linkage in order to get the lever back

I agree with some of those!

Dogbone is a new powerflex, to be honest I'm not sure how much life the other mounts have in them but if they are original they are 88k and 17 years old so replacing may be a good plan

Ive been out tonight and for the second time in the last week I've struggled to get into 3rd gear so I pulled over and started off again and all was fine. I've got no crunches and all other gears are fine, it's been fine in between times too. One thing I have noticed is my gearstick link bar...

5 bloody hours! I've saved weeks then in the last few years not having my hair cut. On a serious note that looks such minor damage to consider anything other than a touch up even on a new car

Regular top ups it is then!

It is leaving spots on the drive with the sump guard off

Having recently replaced my gearbox oil I've noticed the inside of my car smells of the foul stuff when stopping after a decent journey. I do have the usual Renault leak from somewhere and when replaced a fair but less than the 3ltrs came out than went back in. Could the fact I'm missing the...

Doesn't look that bad at all, I'm sure when you start digging it will get worse

Can you recommend any pads and compounds?

Thanks mate, looking at their kits they all seem to be heavy cut and finishing compounds so I may just make my own up. Still cant decide between the DAS 6 pro and the v2

Would the heavy cut menzerna compound and Megs pads that come in the Clean your Car kits be too aggressive?

Does anyone know if flame red 172 paint is a hard, medium or soft paint? Currently shopping for cutting compounds and DA pads so any advice appreciated
