Go and talk to your local Trading Standards Officer. I have always found them to be very helpfull in the past when I have had any trader problems.

Not sure why you want to do this but, you could drill a small hole in the dash and then fit a rubber grommet in the hole to neaten it up a bit, before you push your cable thro''.

I have the 14" BBS wheels fitted to my mk1.  You can if you have the time and energy get the outer rim of these wheels smoothed down from the machined turning lines so that they just about shine like chrome. Together with real black tyres they do make the car stand out.  

Hi Geoff, considering my age I am not too bad, could be a lot worse when I see some mature people of my age in hospitals. Just got the all clear on Prostate Cancer, well I still have it but it is so small I am assured by the consultant that it will not be this that finishes me off. He didn't say what would, don't want to know really. I am ...

I believe I have a working pump, or it used to be, but without the pulley / clutch.   If your clutch is in OK condition you could possibly make a match up assuming that both are the same make. I will dig it out tomorrow to see what it looks like and possibly the make of it, if you are interested.

Try building up on the plastic bits that have broken off with some Araldite, a little at a time then, when it has hardened, use a fine drill to use as a start for a cup headed 1/2" # 6 screw to fix it back together.

I sprayed mine all over with two part classis red paint so that it all looks the same colour after I tried to match and patch it up. One of the beauty's  of the two part paint is that it covers a lot better then the cellulose ...

Remove the door handle and the surround bit around the door latch plus any other bits around the speakers, then you just put your fingers behind the card at the bottom of the door and prize it loose. The top part that is attached to the card that curves towards the window will also come of with the card but you should just push the card up ...

I am not in need of any help but, having had a flooded kitchen about four years ago I thought this tip may be of some use to anyone who has been flooded out, or someone you may know. The insurance company will normally send in some one to put lots of electric driers around the flooded rooms after the water has receded. As soon as the company ...

Have you tried the old trick of tightening them first, however small, and then try to unscrew them. This usually works for me but, if not I use my electric impact driver. I am a bit too far away from you unfortunately to meet up.
