I didn't but it would have made it easier. I have an ***ortment of wire brushes to fit into my cordless drill to remove the majority the rust and a scraper/screwdriver for fiddly bits. Then paint with rust converter and then some gloss black paint. Not sure yet about removing some parts for...

I did a trip to Cardiff and back on Saturday and noticed a metallic rattle on accelerating from standstill. Stopped at a gas station and discovered the rear heat shield was disconnected from its fixings. Fortunately it couldn't fall out so I completed the trip and got to fix it today cos it's...

OMG imagine if someone took it to a garage to have this sorted, only you :cool:

I feel for you Bertie and you say the fellow that sold you the car was okay but I aint so sure. Anyways if you are to recuperate your money the cheapest option would be to get the dpf removed and mapped out. Then you can sell it on with a clear conscience knowing the car is problem free and the...

My cars aircon never worked since buying it 5 years ago. I just live with it, haven't tried a re-gas so can't help. how often is it needed in our climate.

I wouldn't use thicker oil, especially in this climate. The engine needs all the help it gets from immediate lubrication. I use a 5W30 in mine and seems to work

could be a wrong belt apparently, or other pulley things.

Mine was upper control arm, only found out after mot failure
