  1. Have you checked or changed the pollen filter?
  2. Sad as it sounds, I always wd40 and operate the stop cocks in the house/ garage every year just before winter to make sure they do move and work. In the garage I've put a secondary in-line stop c**k and a drain down valve as a precaution.
  3. As what others have said, keep HOTW updated, it'll be good to note for reference too
  4. Have you done the basic checks first and looked for blown fuses, bad electrical connections and split vacuum pipes?
  5. Sounds like a result there, I'd love to see the bling pics after the detailing work
  6. It fell... Maybe the front 'wheel' had too much negative camber to the left

    Nice one, I love reading posts about projects like this
  8. I'm too busy looking at the trampoline activities. ..
  9. Always read the small print on insurance policies. I wouldn't be surprised if the policy for Rich would state that there is a total sum cap value to claim for items belonging in 'outbuildings' ie sheds and garages not attached to the house, and for Tony that the dog has to be micro chipped and kept on a lead at all times. ...
  10. Cheers mate, I used the comma one years ago on the Lexus, I'll grab a couple of these Defo prefer the XFR-S wheels When I recharge air con, I just use the following to clean the air con evaporator and air ducts. It's an aerosol with a 1 metre pipe you can shove down then spray and withdraw, similar to using the wax oil type dispenser. No need to run the car engine with doors sit engine running for a period of time. One can does 2 cars. https://www.koolairconsupplies.com/fjc-foaming-evaporator-cleaner-2423.html Don't forget the pollen filter !
  11. You're visualising it though, aren't you
  12. So Tony, would you recommend sports lowered suspension on the nearside and normal oem height on the drivers side for me
  13. Did you have the same amount of fuel in the tank for both measurements ie half tank of fuel, with the boot empty on both occasions?
  14. I had a similar issue on my vectra. It turned out to be aluminium corrosion where the rubber sliders fit into the brake calipers themselves. I pulled out the sliders from the brake caliper and used a fennel with the rotary drum sander on to clean the hole back to a nice circle shape again. Once refitted and lubricated with silicon grease the caliper slid nice up and down the cleaned up pin. The corrosion effectively narrowed the hole and made the rubber slider feel stiffer to slide on the pin. I hope this helps
  15. Look at the word grain of the doors. ..
  16. I look forward to more expensive tyres. Technology for future revenue more like
  17. I haven't even washed mine for a year. .
  18. It looks like it was tied using cable ties in a compressed state to aid fitting

    The above didn't work with me and my Mrs
  21. It looks like the drum hasn't been fitted !
  22. I bet 50p they've tightened all the suspension bolts up with the wheels not on the floor and the bushes are pre loaded
