Full Volvo service from new and I did a full service in October
So,
My Volvo V50 1.8 Petrol has always had a slightly odd issue but I think the noise is getting worse.
From cold the engine sounds great, uses no oil and runs fine but as the car gets to...
I have decided it would be fun to drive a car with tweed seats, wind up windows and a choke (!) And a big clock where you would normally find a rev counter for winter.
This is my pointless purchase...
Seems the car is a pre facelift

Im not sure if its a facelift.
It has a M sport front bumper currently ( that's mangled) so I would probably put that back to stock.
It has round front fogs? is that facelift or pre facelift?
So, I have been offered a 3 door 118d on an 07 plate by my work colleague
Its a es sport ( not m sport) in montego blue and has m sport suspension, sports steering wheel and not much else options...
Its a start.
For now I know a lot of owners are placing the OBD port elsewhere or removing a fuse and yes using Steering locks.
Its mad that steering locks are still a thing in 2016.
I know its not high on your list but the boot in the swift is pathetic for the size of car IMHO.
Trade off is decent rear leg room in the moredoor version.
Was really really impressed with...
Sadly now for sale

I recently bought a low mileage fsh bargain mk1 focus estate for the missus.
Don't often drive it but did have to the other day and I noted two things.
Why is the dashboard made of melty...
I will check
No codes shown will clean the maf
The car has had an Italian tune up
So, Odd one.
Friends Mini one is playing up. Its an 09 Plate with only 31k on the clock.
Problem is the car only does very short journeys which is never good for a car so I feel there is...
This is why the sky active Mazda's are great in my eyes.
Didn't go down the downsize route. Just optimisation.
Real world economy of them seems very good.
You can,
Its called a Stepspeed - yep you guessed it. CVT. pretty hateful to a petrol head but acceptable for dlowes old dear.
Bonus points for the fact the gearbox has been proven reliable...
Bit of an update.
The following has been sorted so far
Rear view mirror now a rear view mirror and not in the glovebox.
Drivers door mirror now not smashed!
Front Door speakers...
Hello All,
Somewhat new to detailing but I have the following.
Meguiars g220 v2
Machine Polishing 7" Polish Pad Yellow Soft Buff DAS6 Pro G220 Flex Dual Action
Machine Polishing 7"...
Ridge Racer type 4
The calipers have been changed by prev owner a couple of years back so maybe they are a bad design.
I haven't checked where they split so will add that to the list.
They have been binned!
Thought I would make a thread about this one.
Bought it from a chap on retro rides and now im going to go about improving it and doing some fettling. Im doing it because these things are properly...
So, We have a Mazda 323F ( BJ) on a 03 plate for running around.
Great car, Terrible handbrake.
I have adjusted the handbrake inside the car as much as possible but its clear it needs...
