    My New (old) Ford Orion.

    I am wrong! His Orion was C294 AMS, his Cavalier Sri was C45 AAE. I got confuddled.

    My New (old) Ford Orion.

    Clean GSI's are fetching stupid money. Besides, my mechanic's got three of them so I'd be seen as copying him. Orions FTMFW!

    Buying stuff for cleaning, Argghhh....

    Acidic wheel cleaners are fine for a one off deep clean of a car that's been hammered. I wouldn't (and don't!) use it on my pride and joy though. It will discolour your wheel valves, tarnish the wheel bolts, make your calipers rusty... Its nasty stuff. I use it at work for cars that haven't...

    If this hadn't have paid off, this was next on my 'to view' list... Proper clean! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261125417388?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    My New (old) Ford Orion.

    This is a peach! I've just got home after stopping at work to wash it off as its spent its life under a tree it seems! Arches are solid and original, doors are completely rot free and every single electric item works. I hear what everyone is saying about it being crap, but its proper...

    First ever part based track car info requird please

    How many track days have you done? Unless you've done loads and are driving the car on the limit at every circuit, what's the point in changing anything?? Why not just enjoy it for what it is?

    How to de-ice your windscreen like a boss

    I've done it on every forecourt i've worked on since about 1999. Never seen a windscreen crack. There is a big difference between luke warm water and hot water.

    How to de-ice your windscreen like a boss

    You need a Range Rover! Heated steering wheel/front windscreen/seats FTW!

    Steering wheel re-trim (snappy)

    My only gripe with this guy, is his work is so bloody awesome, it makes the centre of the wheel look pony! lol.
