    Karcher foam lance

    Thats not a proper Karcher foam lance , even though Halfords say it is . Its just a low pressure detergent sprayer . They aren't that good tbh . This is a proper karcher foam lance , considerably more money . http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=103 If you...

    Need advice

    12 - 24 hours is impractical for most people . I usually leave it for 30 mins . If time is an issue the Body Shield Blitz Spray Sealant from carwashnwax is a good alternative . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/bodysh.htm

    Polish and seal before you wax . It might sound a few quid to spend , but these products will last a long time before you'll need to buy some more .

    Halfords for the auoglym and meguiars wash mitt . For the waffle weave towel , wax and a microfibre applicator for the wax carwashnwax . I get the majority of my stuff off here . Also try their Extreme Body Wash N Wax shampoo . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/extrwash16.htm...

    Need advice

    Ditch the sponge for a start and get a good lambswool wash mitt . I like the meguiars one best . I use a combination of an aquablade and waffle weave towel to dry the car . Get some autoglym super resin polish and autoglym extra gloss protection . Then a decent wax like the chemical guys 50/50...

    Recently purchased a clio 182

    If it's only a grands worth of damage then i would say you've got yourself a bargain . Check in the boot under the mat to see if there are any creases . I'll be honest with ya though , if there is only a grands worth of damage i'd be surprised . The rear end of a clio is a bit of a weak spot...

    Recently purchased a clio 182

    So you've bought a car that you know nothing about thats a cat d write off ? Sounds a bit risky to me . I hope you got it for a good price and have somebody with a good knowledge of how what repairs it will need . I'd concentrate on repairing the car rather than any mods imo . Specialist...

    12v - 5v LED's

    12v - 5v LED's

    You'll need 5v resistors . Anything higher will burn out the led if the leds are rated as 5v . Have you got a link to the leds ?

    Quick braided hose question (pic included)

    You'll always lose a bit of fluid when you disconnect the hoses . Put some cling film over the brake fluid reservoir and screw the cap back on tight . Bleed through " without " the engine running .

    182 depreciation..

    Like Sam says . Selling private is the only way you'll get anywhere near it's true market value . At the moment the market for 182's is a little bit stagnant as there seems an abundance of them for sale . Thats also another reason why a dealer will offer you well under market value as he knows...

    Where can I buy a closed induction kit?

    I'd steer clear of the apollo if i was you . It lost power on my 182 . Halfords sell the bmc , its cheaper than the bmc carbon ones but with the same filter inside ...

    best thing to clean seatbelts

    Lol at the new seat belts . APC for me or autoglym interior shampoo if they aren't too heavily soiled . Use a Meguiars Foaming Sprayer , let it dwell or agigate it with your fingers , wipe it off with a damp microfibre cloth ...

    182 depreciation..

    It always amazes me how people are shocked when they are offered 1000's less than they paid for their cars 1 or 2 years down the line . The fact is it's a tin box that costs money to run , repair etc ... Newer models come out which " can " affect the price of older models . If your gonna part ex...
