Great tip and a useful contribution to the forum!
I saw this tip on "Find It, Fix It, Flog It" the other day, is that where you saw it?

Andrew.

Cheers! Yeah thats the one!

Hi all, saw a tip on one of them antique programs other day that i thought was pretty genius! Tin Foil + Water rubbed on metal (or possibly just chrome)...removes rust! Who knew!? it's about the only useful thing i've contributed to this forum soo enjoy :D shows it working - https://www.youtube.com/...

I think that Peugeot make cracking small cars. Had a couple, they've been great.

Bought it! i agree its brill , really smooth and proper nippy. interior feels cheap and not well put together but other than that its sound.

Don't buy the 106 I have never heard anyone say a good thing about them with your insurance i have my wife on and my parents as it makes it cheaper and i am 48 . yeah its probably crap but im not arsed lol as long as it runs and drives, mot is till may 2018 so will scrap it once weather gets nice. ...

The government needs to grow a pair and ban whiplash claims altogether - genuine or not. Also claims management parasite companies should be banned too. Watch the premiums tumble then. Insurance companies are a bunch of c**ts too though, I've last week pranged my Skoda and now my premium will go up...

Decided to buy a little run around as winter is coming and dont want to be driving about in the capri in bad weather. ive bought a 1996 5 door corsa for £230, thinking oh yeah brill it will be cheap (had a corsa years ago when i was 19). Turns out the insurance i paid then as a fairly new driver is...

cheers! yeah ive tried all comparison websites now and cant get it lower than that, will have to phone around... so daft for what it is. i think they should give us our money back if we dont claim by the end of the policy. why should they get to keep it if they havnt paid out! insurance companies ar...

I'm not sure. I've been thinking about it and I'm kinda waffling on the idea to be honest. I just got these new tyres and they cost a pretty penny so id need assurances that i'd get the same amount of life out of anything different. (plus i got these particular ones to help improve handling in the ...

I have had a look and at this moment in time and can not find anything but I do know the wheels were black and as you say bumpers were painted time wise September 2016 . I never looked at the car and don't know why might of been the all black wheels as it's a pet hate of mine . ( sorry anybody with...

Cheers fixed it!

Ive got freshly refurbished S 4-spokes with brand new uniroyal rain expert tyres on mine. I plan on eventually replacing them for something bigger as tyres in 13" are hard to find. What condition are the tyres on yours? ah nice, brill mate would you be interested in a swap? I cant remember off...

Do you know I nearly viewed your laser as when I saw it I thought all that looks good and when you posted I thought I new the number plate and today I found the pictures the bloke sent me . As it had black wheels so the wheels must be all re-furb also the bumpers were painted . Here's the picture I...

Anyone fancy swapping my 7spokes for some 4 spokes or what ever you have? they are 13" 7 spokes, with new tyres all round, centre caps and locking nuts i think. Never been a fan of 7 spokes.... im Interested in some laser/rs 4 spoke or slotmags or simillar etc.. http://s1332.photobucket.com/use...

There like two peas in a pod . I drove a 1.6 many moons ago and I don't think there much in it . The only thing back in the day was the insurance . deffo lol, got any car shows coming up? will have a look out for ya. Yeah tbh it feels quicker and more responsive than my old 2.0 so i cant see the di...

If you are very lucky someone may have changed the carb and inlet manifold for a 32/36 DGAV already. It was a quick and easy performance uplift for the standard 1.6 back in the day that made quite a difference just on its own. Even better of course if it had a 2.0 camshaft added and has to be said ...

Hi Naissan The joys of classic car ownership! The orange in the coolant is basically rust due to the coolant not having enough anti - freeze in it. Anto freeze does four things - freezing prevention, corrosion prevention, makes engine run slightly cooler by raising boiling point of the coolant and ...

Your right it's rust . I would get a service asap just to be on the safe side as you never know when these things have been done also try and empty the tank of petrol and fill up as the petrol so you know it's all fresh . Mine had only done a few hundred miles in about 10 years and they don't like ...

Hi All, Noticed driving about today my temp guage is sitting just under red, has been fine since i bought it and has been sat in the middle till today. I've Seen a thread on here suggesting its possibly faulty gauge ( engine seems to be running fine) as well as a few other things to check so will do...
