    As I understand it, the ethanol dissolves gunk that's built up in the system over the years, and that clogs the injectors (or at least that's the theory. We've been making sure we go to tesco, as the price difference there seems to be normally 5-6p per litre, which as a percentage of nyon 2 quid isn't much especially given the better fuel efficiency.

    Nice one with the exhaust. I'm sure that I had an issue with an O ring when I did my thermostat ages ago. Always quite liked the fan blades.

    Nice one. Fresh plastics make such a difference to the look of the car. I've been using gummi pflege on the deck, and it's amazing how good it works.. It's mainly meant to revive and protect rubber seals, but it works on plastics great as well. Makes them look new rather than that weird look you get with back to black. https://www.micksgarage.com/d/dash-rubber-and-plastics/products/2517984/gummi-pflege-stift-100ml Did it the last time I cleaned the old girl..

    Have a look at Rimmerbros for the MGZS. They probably still do them. I'm sure that's where I got them for the deck when she was getting done up.

    I quite like the period brown colour in that one... Pretty cool.

    How cool is this little beauty.. 1982, 1 owner from new. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205115577041?atmobcid=soc3 Nowt to do with me, just saw it on auto trader.

    That looks like it's worked really well mate.. Do you have to mask anything off, or is the heat low enough for it not to matter? What's the theory, is it something to do with the oils in the plastic?
  9. dr_broon
    Pretty cool experiment buddy, good luck with it. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

    Top cleaning job matey! I know what you mean, always end up having at least a glance over the shoulder waking away in a car park, and there's just something about the way the lights in a multi storey make them look.

    What a transformation!
  12. dr_broon
    Cheers Actually crapped myself at first, I thought it'd been knicked cos it wasn't where I thought it was parked. turns out it was a bit further down and was obscured by some modern lump. yeah, know what you mean about the big fogs. Just need to figure out what to do about a surround for them just to finish it off nice. Looking back on ebay the other day, turns out they're raybrig from a honda stream.. Not dc5.. Not sure where I got that from I'll blame 2 years of foggy memory since buying them.

    Drove in to work today cos I couldn't be bothered cycling in... Looked nice in the car park...
  14. dr_broon
    Be nice to go for a spin in that
  15. dr_broon
    Much better! Bet that wasn't a sweaty couple of hours' work.
  16. dr_broon
    Yep, a van would have made this easier..

    Clio looks canny with the drop
  18. dr_broon
    That's looking mint mate
  19. dr_broon
    I'll have a look into that, cheers matey.

    It's one that Grant had in that I inherited.. It's pretty good, fits in nice, I just need to come up with a better way to attach it, as it's pretty much just screwed into the liner behind. The rattle was coming from the plastic trim under the window, so should be easy to sort.
  21. dr_broon
    Mate, I'm going to be so jealous of that when I'm packing the accord for camping tomorrow.
  22. dr_broon
    Yeah, love the purple... Wish it could be there all the time. Sound's much better... Got some vibration from the sub enclosure but I think it needs some better mounting points. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the sound now. A while ago I got some new door speakers off ebay, which weren't what the ad said they were, but turned out to be the optional extras for the car anyway, and they sound much better, as well as being a direct swap. Happy days. Just need to figure out what I'm going to do with the mounts for the roof ones as they fairly stick out. Thinking of attacking them with the sander to round the corners off, but that will make covering them more difficult.

    Looks nice on those wheels

    Looking good bud. You got any trips away planned in the bus over the summer?
  25. dr_broon
    Couldn't resist taking a purple pic when the sun came out during a car wash today. Good wash and wax, and some vacuuming action as well. Also, got the gummi phledge out to revive the rubbers and plastic. Such great stuff. Comes up like new...
