    Mr Clutch

    I would ask what brand of clutch they were going to fit and to whether it is reconditioned or new. I would say you would be better off going to a reputable independent and requesting a branded clutch to be fitted.

    Anyone know what would have caused this paint defect?

    I can imagine your frustration! I would say it was fine to go down to the primer layer, if the bonnet was primed at factory. It can be difficult when you cannot be sure which layer is contaminated. Obviously, going back to metal would be the best position to start from, as you can be sure it...

    Anyone know what would have caused this paint defect?

    This would have been moisture on the panel during the metal to primer, or primer to topcoat stage. Doesn’t really happen with newer refinish techniques - but I’m guessing it's on the Capri, which would have more than likely been painted (or repaired/resprayed in it's lifetime) with Cellulose...

    Your longest drive in ONE day?

    I did Birmingham to Lochinver in Scotland for a holiday - that was 530 miles (interesting roads after Inverness!). I also did Birmingham to Fraise (Vosge) in France, again for a holiday and also to watch the Tour - that was 600 miles.

    Which compound to give extreme polish after using G3?

    You could follow up with G10. Farecla do a small drill attachment to use with the 3" g-mops - if you give it a go, use the black pads (polishing), as these are softer and easier to use if you've not done it before.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    I joined the club yesterday. Got my 520d ed delivered - happy so far, but I only racked up 120 miles back from work. Looked like i'd done about 1,000 though with the weather yesterday. Managed to get a break in the weather to wash it this morning. I went for Sophisto Grey, with the 5 spokes...

    Uk Fuel Cards

    The reasons you'll get savings from Keyfuels is becuase the Arval card is a retail card. They just recharge the pump price to you. But you are right, the convenience with the Arval/Allstar option is that it is accepted anywhere. Contact UK Fuels - they have a number of different card...

    Opportunity to buy VW Golf Mk6

    Just FYI for everyone - the Golf Plus is a C-Max style vehicle, not a hatch as people are commenting on. I would snap that up! I did the same a few years ago on a Leon FR. I got the car for £2.5k under book and made money on it as a part ex when I bought a new car 2 years later. Not...

    Skoda

    It was a Briskoda group buy at the time. It was £850 incl. door cards and I think they were doing £750 without door cards at the time (few years back though). It was done at Seat Surgeons in York - you order the style you like, then it takes a couple of weeks for the covers to be made...

    Skoda

    They were from a well known auction site! A search for vRS wheel centres should do it. They are stickers - I did take the wheel off to get my centre caps out when I stuck them on. But you could do it with the wheel on. I just wanted to clean them up properly and make sure they had stuck.

    OcUK Motors - Years Back

    I've got loads of Lowe's Clio GTT pics at home, i'll have to dig them out if he's doesnt pop in himself with them. It was my girlfriends (now wifes) car as a standard 1.4RT, then overtime we modified it, before Lowe bit the bullet and took it to EP Motorsport for the 5GTT conversion. We...
