The knob you turn on your cluster to adjust the brightness is worn. Full brightness is right at the end of turning it, as you go over bumps it switches between brightness. Turn it left all the way then all way right, about 10-20times it should fix it by cleaning the terminals- think old stereos...

I guess he's saying it can cause more harm than good. Engine flushes remove sludge which is caused by oil oxidizing. Removing these can block the oil passage ways, as the product normally requires you to run the engine for some time it'll be moving around your engine, can block your filter etc...

ideally you will need a machine polish. But you can use Meguires ultra cut by hand working a small area at a time. Then follow up with a filler polish such Autoglym SRP and seal with Autoglym EGP. All of those products available at Halfords. It may not rid the deeper scratches but will go along...

T Cut is abrasive and can leave it's own defects. when you say light scratches can you be a bit more specific. Can you get your finger nail in the scratch? Has it gone through the clear coat?

Engine flushes should be avoided. Plus if your car has run on full synthetic then even less of a need. Oils already have cleaning additives, and if you run Shell V Power then your covered.

clay mitt/cloth is definitely better to do the whole car and much quicker

any general toolkit, Halfords pro range is excellent. I recommend the 200pc kit when on offer for 125-135. In addition you will need a good set of screwdrivers, various pliers, oil filter chain/wrench, gearbox key for oil, drain pan. If you doing front fogs you will probably need a drill and bit...

if it's just light cratching on clear coat you need to machine polish with compound. If you do not have a machine look into hand polishes from the likes of meguires. If the scratches are deep they you can gently build up the layers with base then clear and wet sand but then you will need to...

8th gen is very underrated. It improves on the 7th gen in many ways- refinement is a big one

made a noticeable difference under hard braking but they fitted with a hard compound pad.

but you may as well drive it till it dies or gets really bad. Bleed the slave cylinder, 2 man way in the meantime. No point worrying over dmf, if it is that which is likely then just keep driving it. But don't pull it apart for it to be a release bearing. if it's really bugging you take it to a...

150k is ok for a diesel but it will need dpf, clutch etc as with any diesel doing that mileage. I like the 8gen but only thing puts me off is the arch fill. You would need decent wheels and spacers but even then the looks not right.

not for the diesel. Honda use LUK. I have installed both exedy and AP in petrol Honda no problems. I would say though never purchase a clutch from ebay so many people have purchased rubbish.

Beemers still have horrendous orange peel from the factory, they must pile it on.

I said 65nm one page1 someone may be able to check the ESM and tell... i've got 59nm in my head for some reason. Either should be fine

Yep, be sure to torque everything back up :) if you've changed discs and pads before you'll have no trouble.

The hub comes with a new O ring. If you look at image of old vs new you can see it.

the point for me was when the op described his engine cut out while running or similar. I wouldn't have thought a seized alternator would overcome a running engine crankshaft? I've driven miles with a failed alternator, no power or lights in my diesel. It must be more at play, for example a...

Two options well three. use them, but first have in writing what they will repair and costs involved then get your own estimate and compare. go through a accident management company- I know but they have they're uses. report to your insurer and have them deal. their is a fourth option...
