    For the paint experts

    interestingly the iso alcohol didn't really have much impact. Scratch removal (like a t-cut) did. Result! thanks for help

    For the paint experts

    thanks both. The tar remover was AutoGlym. they have a very comprehensive product sheet, it contains nasty stuff, Im wearing gloves next time!
  3. The pump I used this evening was awful, kept spilling out so I pushed those green towels under the fuel cap to help catch excess fuel. The dye from the towels has stained both the paint work (small bit bottom left) and the protection film. I tried shampoo, tar remover, polish, nothing has removed it. All suggestions welcome!
  4. Andrew's advice is really good - do not feel pressured by other (faster) cars. I really felt that on my first few times, but don't - this is a club day, for enjoyment and everyone has equal right to drive at speeds they feel comfortable with. The faster car must only overtake when safe to do so (on a straight) and with permission. Bring something to store all your kit - the car must be empty.
  5. Also excellent experience with the Stihl. Keep an eye out online for deals at <£300 from Lawnmower sites!
  6. Mine has been on 5 years and on the nose cone has quite a lot of pitting now. Would the wife's turbo hair dryer generate enough heat to flatten it out? Or do I have to borrow a heat gun? Cheers
  7. mine flew off the windscreen and flapped around the back of the car whilst I worked out what had just happened. Caterham had used the wrong poppers, fixed by a quick visit to Oxted. The fit is as you described, floppy and a bow. But it stays on now tested to 70mph.
  8. On removing the hood sticks, are you left with excess space under the boot cover?
  9. today (Mon 12th Feb) doing out on Exeter St. I said hello as I cycled past in traffic. Two of you well wrapped up warm!
  10. A 7 parked up. Unusual colours, looked nice. Can't remember much more.
  11. The gentleman who could not fit in his friends s3 for the Taffia run this year, so they removed the passenger seat and he sat on the floor deserves a prize. Seeing him squeezed into the car at Machynlleth was both hilarious and hugely impressive at the same time!
  12. whats the general thought on how often to change diff oil given the weakness of them?
  13. My car said 31.5 degrees as I passed you
  14. With silver. Heading back home from Bucklers Hard?
