    Axle stand question

    Good to know. I went out and bought another pair of stands. However, I will try that bolt and hopefully I wont have to chuck that stand in the bin.

    Axle stand question

    Hi guys, one of the securing pins on my axle stand have gone missing after I let a mate borrow them. It would be a shame to chuck away a good set of stands. What else can I use in place of it? I have two spare subframe bolts from my A3. Will this be ok? It fits in the stand also. However the...

    Almost got scammed by car buyers

    Yeah it's understandable mate because you are in a position where you just want to sell your car and move on, so will be jumping at the opportunity for someone to come and see the car. If I were you, I wouldn't bother with the clutch and flywheel, because like you said, you won't recoup the...

    Almost got scammed by car buyers

    Sounds like you did the right thing by declining tbh, although I'm sure in hindsight, you probably wished that you didn't accept any viewings so late in the evening. Totally normal to be fuming, I know I would be if I was in this situation. At least you still have your car and provided the head...

    Receiving points? NIP?

    It's a bit weird, because although the reg was wrong, she still received the letter at her address (is that correct?). Or is that because she gave the correct address when she was stopped? EDIT: or perhaps the insurance company intervened as they may have realised it was their fault and...

    Fitting Tyres to Diamond Cut Wheels

    haha it's ok, I like the idea you proposed as it makes sense. But i think it may/may not depend on the tyre fitting machine. From the ones at my local, the wheel has to be mounted on that hub (with the face of the wheel facing upwards) and then spin round, Maybe the wheel can only go on that way...

    Fitting Tyres to Diamond Cut Wheels

    Interesting, they don't seem to do this with normal, non-diamond cut alloys do they?

    Ultra low emission zone

    Agreed, the unearthing of the VAG cheat devices definitely had an impact. Regarding the EVs and petrols in city driving, that appears to be the way it is going now, especially with this ULEZ.

    Ultra low emission zone

    I suppose I mean during rush hour, standstill traffic, which is a common occurrence on the North Circular! Yeah I wouldn't be suprised if that is the next move with regards to the batteries lol Let's just go straight to hydrogen cars.

    Ultra low emission zone

    To be fair, I don't think it's his fault. Like @StateOfPlay has said, I also use the North circular often and even just travelling along it, you literally cannot open the windows because the air is that bad. I drive a diesel car and I know that diesels have made the air worse, so I sound like a...

    Windscreen wet on inside

    That's interesting, we've had a mk4 and a mk5 in the past and they fortunately never had these problems, in all the years that we've owned them. Yeah I was a little worried that this may be the case and in most cars I hear that it is a pain to do. I checked the coolant this morning and it was...

    Windscreen wet on inside

    Thanks for going to the effort of getting the link, I appreciate it :) I will try and check that area too. Yeah it's a bit difficult to identify a direct link as I've only noticed it in the cold weather and the repair work was done at some point that I don't fully remember! Now these two...

    Windscreen wet on inside

    I mean it has air con with recirculation but whether it has a flap for this I'm not sure. The aircon is pretty rubbish though. Would it be worth doing one of those fancy smoke machine tests and see if the smoke escapes from the door seals?

    Cheers mate, what model was your Fiesta? Was there some work done to your car which resulting in the grommet to become missing?
