    coolant leak in mornings

    petrol. it only leaks when the engine is cold and the system has minimal or negative pressure, it will happily drive for hours with no loss then the next day, the dreaded drip. water pump and fan ok. i'm thinking that it the pressure is holding a hose join water tight but then when cooling down...

    Good sound proofing

    ive used rolls of closed cell foam mats stuck down with good spray glue (the type that looks like its been shot out of spidermans wrist) to good effect in my vtec mini. closed cell foam is the posh name for those thin foam mats you get for camping, £shop all the way, you could probably do a...

    Central locking mystery

    your c/l motors have burnt out, i would say that you have parked too close to a wifi hotspot. the brown cog gets turned by a very small cylinder that pops out from the white plastic fitting on the shaft of the motor due to centrifugal force. new mechanisms i'm afraid. i'm doing some research at...

    blatant post increase thread

    the quote was an email i recieved if that makes a difference, but yea i am guilty of ticking the "i have read the t's and c's" box without actually doing so. as for peddling my tat, through a google search of 'p38 roof rack wanted' i found numerous threads on this very site where people say...
