    paint matches?

    ^^ Thats weird , it says they do . Have you tried one of your local motor parts suppliers , the ones that usually supply to the trade ? They can usually match around 40,000 different colours .

    pressure washers

    Mines running perfectly well and i've been doing it this way for quite a while now .I've had my karcher for 9 years and it still works as good as it did when it was new. Its only a couple of capfuls in 25 litres of water which is a pretty dilute solution .

    i know this sounds stupid...paint...

    Sometimes when pay over the counter they don't add VAT if your paying cash . I know i don't where i go ;) I still say VAT and P+P will be added to pepsis total from what he says .

    i know this sounds stupid...paint...

    You say " plus vat and p+p " , so it would mean vat and p+p isn't included .

    pressure washers

    ^^^ Makes sense if you've already got a pressure washer , lots of high power foam :) Only around a tenner for a fermenting bin with lid so its not gonna brake the bank ;)

    pressure washers

    ^^^ Yeah Dave . I run a 6 foot length of hose from the fermenting bin which is full of warm water and a couple of capfuls of shampoo . Pressure washers are pumps at the end of the day so will pull water as well as push water . I only use it to foam the car , i do the final rinse connected to...

    2002 172 ff and alarms

    They don't all come from Holland . I'm on my second import , whats called a direct import from France as it wasn't destined for anywhere until a buyer was found for it . In my case motorpoint , then me , new . I think your getting a little confused with what are known as grey imports ...

    pressure washers

    The size , 25 litres . A normal bucket soon runs out of water at high pressure .

    pressure washers

    Yeah but they don't let you wash the car at high pressure with soap . I have one as well ;)

    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 give it a quick blast down first to loosen the dirt , then soak it in suds , then wash using a wash mitt and 2 bucket method .

    pressure washers

    Karcher . Had it for donkeys years . You can pick em up pretty cheap now . I use a vario lance mainly as it has a high power setting and a rinse setting . I run the hose from a home brew 25 litre fermenting bin ...

    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...
