    hi i found my central locking was slow then all of a sudden it stopped and i couldnt get in,all i needed to do was push the pipes fully back in the motor which is situated in rear boot under carpet on right hand side wall of boot then it works excellent now

    its ture some insurance companies dont charge an increase for speeding but normally i think you will find that is when its an SP30 and the speed you get caught at is 10mph or less over the speed limit

    Super Unleaded V

    thorpey replied to K-rado's topic in Engine Bay

    i thought i would experiment with lead replacement fuel by adding an octane booster to optimax petrol and i must say there has been a great improvement not only is the car a bit quicker but the car feels smoother too i think this is the way i shall do things now,although more expensive it seems worth it

    a few weeks back i got a stone chip on my windscreen and i watched it spread across the screen and thought i would have to buy a new screen,then a friend suggested i should get it repaired not replaced,i thought no way could my screen be saved but i couldnt believe the end result i now have a perfect screen and no one could tell it had been damaged,if you have the same problem i can recommend AUTOKRAFT 07973252531 or email mailto:[email protected]
