    Anyone in here work offshore (oil&gas)

    Robbie's sites are worth checking regularly. It is a pain that a lot of it is who you know. It may be similar to what you already do, but it might be worth using the terminals like St Fergus and Teeside as a stepping stone to get some contacts. You might have to take the plunge of getting the...

    Washing the New A3

    Never used them on Glacier White but both are recommended for light colours so I don't see why not! As Polished Bliss said to you, a sealant could be a better option, I'm looking into this too but will use up some of the products I have first. May be worth looking at the Werkstat Acrylic kit.

    Quattro Tyres

Only complaint was getting a wee VW Up courtesy car after requesting a larger car! So I've got some extra pennies for a...

    Quattro Tyres

    Thanks for the replies. There has been a tyre change at some point as the fronts are newer and in better nick, DOT codes 4611 and 3012. Any more thoughts on recommended tyres etc?
