    slow windscreen wipers in cold weather

    are they easy to get at? and if so, do you just lube 'em up all over with some 3-in-1?

    slow windscreen wipers in cold weather

    my problem is this: when i've just started the defender, the windscreen wipers sometimes won't work for about 5 minutes, and when they start they'll pitifully drag across the screen, sometimes only once. after the engine's been on for about ten minutes they respond to me turning them on...

    ram air engine intake scoop - worth it?

    yeah i was thinking snorkel but i dunno, i think they look pointless unless on a proper off-roader one, mine's just a day to day car

    ram air engine intake scoop - worth it?

    would putting a scooped air intake on the engine air intake hole help with engine power or anything? if it did, would it hinder fuel economy? talking about a 97 swb 300tdi if you've tried this or know someone who has and you have an answer, i'd be grateful

    rear demister conversion to heater

    radio wiring solution - permanent live

    ok, so i'll run a fused wire from the live radio wire and memory to the battery? I reckon the cigar lighter illumination thing is just that I've put wires back in the wrong place after I finished doing the radio

    radio wiring solution - permanent live

    hi everyone, Just a quick question hopefully. I have installed a radio and its feeds are wired into the cigar lighter feed, which is all very well apart from the fact that I can only use one or the other and that the radio has no memory, along with the less important fact that the little...

    Bench seats in a 90

    don't have to apologise cornish, a lot of the threads don't give 100% definitive answers for your exact question. I just asked my insurer and rang up the Department For Transport to make exactly sure
