Carpro Dlux lasts for ages, a little bit goes a long way. I had high hopes for the Infinity wax plastic coat when it was released as I like their products, but was really disappointed how long it lasted. Autoglym trim gel is poor as well in my opinion.

If you're going to take it elsewhere. You've got Diamond motors in Long Eaton, near Nottingham or Birchdown in Malpas, Cheshire. https://www.diamondmotors.co.uk/ https://www.birchdown.com/

You can get a new key fob with blank blade from Amazon for £12. You just need to find somewhere that can code it and cut the blade. I've never bought one so can't vouch for the quality. But for 12 quid it's got to worth a punt if you need one...

My 182 has had £4.7k spent just on the bodywork alone in the last 2 years 😮 plus another £400 on the wheels being refurbed, so a grand total of £5.2k. Plus servicing, tyres etc... It soon adds up lol. £3k was through the insurance for a low impact no fault claim. New bonnet, front bumper...

I've tried Infinity wax plastic coat and wasn't that impressed to be honest. Carpro Dlux wipes the floor with it for restoring the colour and longevity.

Same here. My auto wipers have always worked perfectly 👍 I think the auto lights are pretty pointless and they've always been disabled.

Like @Crayola said. Make sure the lug on the back of the pad lines up with the groove in the piston. Your pad looks a bit low down so the bar will never go in. Also file off any s**t or rust on the pad carrier that the bar slides on. Plus the bar that slides under the pad looks a bit battered...

I used to run Rainsport 2s and 3s on my 182. They were a very good tyre as the name suggests in the wet. But I would only ever get about 5k miles out of 2 tyres. I've been running Avon ZV7s for a few years now and I can easily get 10k miles out of a set of 2 now. I've found them good in the wet...

I'll be honest with you. I've never even heard of a P606 tyre 🤔 but looking on Google, it's a proper Billy budget tyre with very poor reviews. I'm assuming it's for a 182? Can I ask why you're looking at such a poor performing tyre?

Watching with interest. Never heard of three A tyres. I've just looked on their website. It's not very easy to navigate or find a specific tyre? I've always used Camskil. There are a plethora of tyres in 205 x 45 x 16 to suit all budgets and requirements.

Is it glass though? Wing mirrors are usually plastic mirrors. @Hollidog . Can you not just pop the mirror glass / plastic out of the actual wing mirror fitting. It'll be easier to polish once it's out of the wing mirror fitting itself.

Have you had Mick try and diagnose it?

I'm assuming when people say their Aux belt tensioner has seized they mean the bush.

I know the feeling mate 🤣

Cheers. I thought so. I just wanted clarification 👍

You're reply was a bit confusing actually after I read it a couple of times. At first you say you're 99.9% sure the bush should be tight in the body of the tensioner. Then you said it should be able to move so it can pivot. I'm assuming it's not supposed to pivot on the bolt, more like the...

Thanks for the reply 👍 I have another one where it does move freely, as in this video. So the one that doesn't move at all must be seized? I've just given it a good soaking in plus gas and see if it does free up.

I got hold of a 2nd hand aux belt tensioner. I did tag this onto a previous post of somebody else's but nobody responded. The black part thats held in with a bearing clip. Is it supposed to spin freely? I think it is supposed to, but just want confirmation. It doesn't look rusty so maybe just...

It's not that long ago people were saying steer clear of clay mitts they can cause marring. I can't see this being any different. I've used Farecla clay mitts for a few years now and never had any problems if you keep it well lubed 🤭 Hopefully we'll have some good weather soon, then you can...

Better shelf life than the type E then 👍

Mine just kept Mine just kept popping out. I don't know if one of those clips would have worked or not?

Lots from UK suppliers on Ebay 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=wiper+linkage+repair+kit&_trksid=p2332490.m4084.l1311&_sacat=0

Does it have a shelf life date on?

£10.55 for postage for a couple of clips 😮. I think they're having a laugh.

When mine was knackered and worn I had to get a 2nd hand replacement. The ball just kept popping out.

What's the shelf life like on the febi coolant?

Just has an email reply from Arnold Clarke this morning. They're going to give me a full refund including return postage.

According to which website. If the item is not as described you shouldn't be charged a return fee. There's a free template letter on the website too.

To be honest, I don't know. I could understand if It was something I was sending back that I'd ordered and was correct, I'd just changed my mind. But they're clearly advertising type D and sending type E. So that's got to be wrong in itself. Like I said. I have emailed them but I'll be...

The thing is with this new coolant. The shelf life is only 3 years. That's if it's left unopened. Once it's in the engine and going through lots of heating and cooling cycles, surely it degrades and the life of the coolant is a lot less? 😮 Not everybody changes their coolant every 2 or 3 years...
