  1. Use vinyl silk emulsion paint, works a treat. Tony.
  2. And washes away tears of frustration if things go wrong. Tony.
  3. Sounds like you have upset him Paula...... Tony.
  4. Another vote for Dum Dum, i really miss that stuff in it's yellow tin. Tony.
  5. Further to what Pete say's above, take the plugs out that end.... You will probably find a very nice clean one and that will tell you for sure. Tony.
  6. Mmmm, i guess so Paula, so long as there is nothing else close to the leak? For it to be bubbling out it must have blown into a cylinder.... I would have thought it would be overheating or pressurising the system though. Tony.
  7. I have used meth's to remove wax in the past, the cutting compound should not leave anything nasty George. Thinners would damage the paint Dave, ok for a small spot but on a panel it would bring the paint off. Tony.
  8. Could be the LED tubes, i also have white walls and large south facing window ordinary flourescent lights, but no roof lights. I do get quite a few but not hundreds...... Change of aftershave perhaps? Tony.
  9. Hi Paula, have you tried running the engine without the pressure cap fully tight? ie no pressure in system. If the leak stops, it probably is not the head gskt. If it continues look elsewhere. Tony.
  10. Do your local farmers use chicken sh*t on the fields Colin, we get those damn things but only for a couple of weeks after muck spreading...... Tony.
  11.

The day after spraying it your garage floor will be covered in dead creepy things, and carries on for about 12 months. Tony.
  12. I have heard of that before Johny, in fact some people i know will put in a gallon or so of petrol to cure dpf faults and it seem's to work. I am not saying "do it" as i have not tried it myself...... Tony.
  13. I was just about to say spanner on nut stilson on track rod end Try all three and let us know who win's? Have faith it will go. They can be bloody tight though..... Tony.
  14. I simpathise with you Colin, i have just finished writing yet another letter about the so called "drivers" of DPD van's down our lane..... Total lunatics....... Tony
  15. A photo of what you are trying to undo, would help us to help you if you can? Tony.
  16. Can't say i've tried k-seal after a dodgy curry Pete? Tony.

K-seal you got is a good price though, use that Tony.
  18. This stuff works wonders Paula, even sealed my stag inlet manifold leak Cheaper than K-seal. Nothing will stop a water pump leak. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wynns-55864-Radiator-Head-Gasket-Stop-Leak-325ml-Rad-Cooling-System-Additive/362383855648?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item545fc2d020:g:c1AAAOSw8RxbRyrv&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkBSh1VzQSTzkTiSV5EE%2FHQUWkUecH%2F1Tv0YV7zuTuM0rJgwTsTelUdOx0UY1vDlxUc5sP4NzCFxYL7ZhpmxX%2BdQT8y53Oas5wxhbSVdLMMY8EiFevsQa3u2PgTIjtzEdoPwyUa2cSJX%2FfGL1fFDATy7yXUoclp7Q%2BGfD7XpE%2FTQw5sL1dwfWq2r1AHkExT46dUIiJ0tKe74X5TXmWsocMELDM%2Fo4W6Zu36SCJ7E1e8bOY0nHPZJx04T8KY12ztg%2FNv3J8tBDWMIPLXV0kpU0MP97HHxiZS7Szi7NzHgevM%2BS3%2FXnNPllGYPayusGzcAO9HqfJ8L9ZnvphIeeGzuRTCk3PVLQ9J31GLxU7Wj63j0DnrDijLs7c0z%2BnefSxxjqXoJG1ey00Hdg3wUzXmS6WQJDW%2FvaTVZMpU7X6uaJpcWLDo%2FhZ2zd2Sk5GYn4JoUmilhrM0U6huRf%2FNEfcpDNO8ZVFTZ%2Bql3uweZuQCY8DhynY4hp1xhGq7uSUGxsEd%2Bv3FMG%2FdOd1um0YaLgVOhSwfqSZvaS%2FSPd%2B%2B3SqXhmG4oqWNmp4jn79hjbyP1cibCfN0PDZD%2FS3L0t%2BF%2FKpbcmUisFH0TzWIGomjvPg4UuZRtLTjjlh2%2BeCiyMDuA7U9Y1QNUZMGSbYUcwEj2CC4JbrZ4UBto%2B6MSNUuI3njVYQrUh6CwlvOPTkagBlcMX9TnvUBDP2Im%2F2xd%2BTAhsodGi62piQM6LgWrrqBshC3uM%2FgnLCk8%2FNoCLhp6ktpmBMNBjrZrK63e45FT%2F%2Bw3MRxUDkCA%3D%3D|cksum%3A362383855648dd80e73f2d0947bda136c2b910abad92|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524 Tony.
  19. I have a wife like that Colin, not a fan of cat's i'm afraid Colin one is alway's in our garden for a crap and is always trying to get on my bird table. I will have to get my mate to send his beagle in his Stag Tony.
  20. My mrs really dislikes dogs i don't know why? Maybe a beagle is the cause? A friend of mine takes his beagle everywhere with him and when he visits said dog aways seeks her out and barks like hell behind her He just wags his tale at me and sit's and wait's for his biscuit..... Tony.
  21. They are clamping down on it fine style though Colin, if you want any extra's to the model you choose you have to pay for the them, even down to floor mat's if they are not standard. Even GTI model's are off the list so they are cracking down on it as much as they can. The main abuse these day's are the blue badge.... Grrrrr Those bstds that abuse that should be grateful they can walk unaided. I can only ask that people report blue badge abuse. Just take the reg number and send an email to the council as a blue badge is registered to three reg numbers, and they do check them out Tony.
  22. Now don't you lot start slagging off mobility car user's..... I have one!! I do look after it as if it was my own car and am very grateful to have one I do know what you mean though.. I doubt very much if the Chelsea tractor was a mobility car Colin as they have really tightened up with what car you can have, and rightly so as it was abused terribly. They are also not "Free" as many people think they are a lease car and come with same restrictions. I would swop all my mobility aid's just to be fit and healthy again When i had my garage i came across my fare share of "minging" cars, which sadly had mostly female owners.... The things you would find were disgusting, the worse being when i went to a house to start a car with a flat battery was met with a huge dog turd (still steaming) on the passenger seat..... I politely told her to find another garage....... Aaah well the sun is shining Tony.
