  6. this is a new one apparantely, with new type of battery? not sure now, should i get get a corded one
  7. the cordless one i seen comes with two batteries, is that why you changed? because you run out of power, or are the corded ones more powerful to begin with?
  8. thinking of getting one of these, will help clean up my brake calipers, plus am sure i can use it on other things like the land rover anyone got one? are they any good? thinking of getting Dremel 8000-01 Lithium-Ion Cordless seen it in a deal with spare batt, lots of attachments, and some other stuff for about £140

  13. where did you get the paint for it? can you get a spray of classic green?
  14. is it possible to colour the gromit or are they too flexible/rubbery thanks for the answer, will send dad to B&Q :lol:
  15. have seen people take the rear wiper off and put a gromit in the hole. anyone got pics of this done? Bloody rear wiper packed up this morning, ffs, seems to be losing something each week :lol: might just get rid of it instead of fixing it, i think its the motor, could just be something loose, i did have a developing rattle from the rear recently

  21. i found 2 sets of audi rims at the weekend, i think they are 6spokes, 16" diameter and a nice lip/dish effect on them does anyone know if they will fit a rado, i couldn't even see if they were 5stud or not, was a nice audi, 2.6 v6 i think? going to try and find a pic of some as this is all a bit vague at the moment also some borbet alloys there which looked lovely 8) but don't think i can get my hands on those
