    Brake Caliper Paint

    Well as I'm sure 99% of the calipers are mine are pretty rusty and I wouldn't mind painting them black. Halfords do a caliper paint but the slightest drop of brake fluid and it strips apparently(I'm well aware brake fluid is a fantastic paint stripper) so I've thought of maybe just some black...

    Oil Spray - Underbody

    Had the car in garage today to look at a bush on the wishbone and noticed underneath has a bit of rust dotted about. I had a chat with the mechanic who has looked after our family's cars for 15+ years and he recommended having an oil spray underneath the car. He has done to all his cars every 6...

    butchers!

    Well I've just had the little storage unit out under the radio to fix the problem of it not opening and was horrified to find lots of brown insulation tape and some grey gaffa tape on the loom going to the 12v socket and plenty of other bits behind there. God knows what they have been doing!!
