Hey guys.. I'm experiencing a problem with my heater blowers. They are stuck on full whack regardless of speed shown on the climate control unit. I'm told this is because a transistor has gone faulty in the heater resistor. Is there a guide on here which tells me where it is, in a...

So they're saying a hosepipe ban is imminent. Whats your plan in terms of maintaining a detailed car? I'm tempted to buy some ONR, but wondered what people do without it?

The girl across the road reversed into my car the other week whilst I was sat in my house. The drivers wing was cracked and needed replacing, so after her saying she would fix it she inevitably changed her mind when she heard the cost. So it went through insurance. I got the new wing put on...

The good weather warranted some suds, polish & wax.. Technique used: 1. Snow foam (Halfords poor spec pressure washer shampoo) 2. Left it to work for about 5 minutes 3. Cleaned the wheels using an APC (Sharnagloss), wheel brush and a noodle-type wash mitt to agitate 4. Rinsed snow foam off...

I've written up a list of the detailing products I have already. To more experienced detailers I just want to know what essential products I am missing? Is there anything on that that I shouldn't use/be careful with? Pre-wash/shampoo Halfords pressure washer shampoo Autoglym bodywork shampoo...

I bought this (amongst a couple of other things) from cleanyourcar.co.uk.. It says it is a tar, bug & grime remover. I kind of bought it just off that, is it a good product to use for these purposes? I have the Autoglyn tar remover, which I found to be rubbish. Having researched more, I...

I'm going to have to buy two Michelin PE2's soon for my fronts. Where is the best place to buy?

Anyone recommend a good guide? I vaguely remember someone linking me to a site which had loads of guides, I can't find it though! Thanks

Im buying the snow foam lance off I4D.. Quick question, do i need the quick release or bayonet fitting for my nilfisk c130 pw?

I couldn't find anything specific to this although I'm sure it has been brought up before. I have an iPhone 4 with Orange and the fecking thing keeps sending me Missed Call Alerts. Some calls get through, some goto voicemail regardless of having signal or not. Whats the diagnosis? My mate has...

I topped up my oil today because it was at the minimum on the dipstick. I topped her up with 5w30 fully sythentic oil (castrol). After I did it, I was told by a friend that the oil I used is more for volkswagens etc because it's thinner and lasts longer or something.. Have I done something...

I had a new clutch and drive shaft put on a month or so ago. The car is running fine, however since it got done I've noticed that when I'm driving in a straight line the steering wheel is slightly off centre. I could live with it for a couple of weeks but it's beginning to p*ss me off now...

Some scuzzy person robbed my stubby aerial which was worth a massive £5.. I know they are easy/cheap to replace but I don't want to have to keep buying aerials just because I shouldn't have to. Are there any good stubby anti-theft aerials that I can get? Or atleast something which is harder to...

But she is finally clean!

My clutch has been juddering when setting off in first gear, nothing major but still annoying. Driving home today, got onto the slip road to get on the M60 and clutch started to slip, high reving without really picking up speed. Took it easy on the way back. The clutch pedal has gone much softer...

Grey, non sport with a 172 rear bumper and 172 anthracite alloys on the M62 at about 4.45pm today. Looked like my cars brother! I'm presuming this car is on here because it wasn't poorly modified. Looked good!

Can anybody recommend a good, long lasting tyre shine product? I've ran out of autoglyn tyre shine (foam type), it was good but just didn't last very long. Is the paint on stuff better? Thanks in advance.

A MK1 Williams parked literally round the corner from where I live! Altrincham, NW

Just seen this shown on fifth gear, according to their experiment it is very good. it was applied to an 8 year old alfa romeo and subjected to quite an intense test. gloss test results were over 90%, which is similar to the most expensive products.. anybody used this stuff before?

I took my rear reg. plate off the other day to get rid of the broken surround. Unfortunately I found a spot of rust. :dead: Its no bigger than a finger nail but I want to treat it or something and then cover with a larger plate. Comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :rasp:

I'm using 5mm spacers all round, and have no problems in regards to tyres scrubbing etc. But I think they would look better if they were spaced out abit more. Just wondering, what you got? and at what point are hubcentric spacers required?

I cleaned her on Saturday but never got round to taking any pictures until today, still looks fresh though :o Not the best pictures, or location but nevermind I ran out of tyre shine :( All comments welcome.

parked in the underneath carpark near the valeting section at about 9.00pm tonight? got a glimpse of the back end, wondering if it was anyones on here?

driving like a bellend :nono:

I cleaned the beast the other day, and she looked really shiny and clean. but her headlights have been p*ssing me off for the couple months I've had her. All hazy and rough. the pics are sh*tty but I think you can see it. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us...

what stealth exhausts are available? i know of KTR ones.. any others?

I want to give my engine a full service. how much should i be expecting to pay? I've had a quote of 200, 100 and 80.. who's about right?

I got a full cambelt kit and waterpump done last week. I want to get it serviced now though. I would like to do it myself but I'm not sure how to. Anybody got a tutorial or something? Where can I get all the stuff I need? & What do I need? I'm abit of a novice :o

I put my car in for a cambelt kit and water pump. Job done. They scratched my bumper slightly though. Only noticed when I got home. Looks like they have had a torch balancing on the lower grille, and scuffed it lightly. What does Scratch X do? Whats it suitable for? How good is it? Cheers
