Got home this morning.
Tried to start the car for the first time since December 19th. Click, click, click. Sigh!

I know that feeling! At least it's an easy fix.

On another note, 1000 pages!

A good scam maybe to sell a car, a way around it feel the paintwork in case it's oily.

People use a glaze to cover light scratches and swirls before sealing and waxing too.
You won't feel any oily residue with that.

Yep that will sort it, everyone loves a letter telling them how to park .

Just block them in lol it worked for us and that bit of parking was a good day, the mini before now has been parked over my drive. She hasn't been back since must be annoying someone else.

Give her a bath today, as she's not moved for 3 weeks and had bird poo all over her!!!!

Shouted abuse at her after she failed to get me home after a fishing trip!!!
Looks like I'll be posting some questions regarding fuel pump issues.

Fitted my new back callipers

Found a minor yet niggly problem with my cruise control. I set it at 70 on the motorway and it slowly started dropping off speed. Eventually it dropped below 60 so I hit the + button but nothing happened. Eventually went back to old fashioned accelerator pedal. Any ideas? Don't really care a huge amount but was a feature I used a lot on mine.

You have been taken your t-shirt off wrong. He has a few videos some are funny to watch.

yeah I know it masks the scratch's the car in the video has some paint residue which it appears to remove. I know it doesn't really fix the scratch's for good but I might give it a try on a scratch I have.
