had the same problem with my car. I used a proper compounding paste (its alike an abrasive paste) and it bought it up a treat, then i polished it with Autoglym polish. After that you must use a Wax, this will seal it and keep the colour for longer, may still need polishing once every 6 months...

Plaster over the door and knock through a new one next to it.

Hello, Iv done a bit of an oops and locked my keys in my transit. Its a P-reg and i dont have a clue how to break in.... Any ideas? Cars iv don it to before have been easy but im stumped with this one!!

Wots the best wheels you've had? Mine was a dog poo brown Nissan Sunny, My own lil rally car, hammered it to death for 3 years. Use to put all those Chavvy scum to shame in the Saxo VTR's. Loved it even though it was a pile of cr@p. SOTC

Iv got a P plate high top ******... drives perfect and give 30mpg! I know its a pikey mobile but there cheap to run and go on longer than my mother in law! SOTC

Yo Does anyone know roughly how much 25mm/1" Steel box is per metre? SOTC

Too rite we do. If I see something i want & iv got the money i just buy it... everything else can wait. Im not very good with money. if iv got it i'll spend it. Iv got a lovely Seagull outboard at home. Think its only 1 or 2 horse power. oh yeah.

good point. I really loved the 2.3 5cyl tho. Theres a specialist near me and they can tune them to 300bhp + and thats the normally asperated version. Fast as hell. Iv still got loads of bit from my old e30 coupe (i rolled it) unripped seats! Radiator, tow bar, complete toolkit. must get round...

audi.. thought you would have gone for the 2.3 5cylinder audi engine. I had one in my 89 coupe, so much fun!!

nigel, best as in your favourite. V8's are as economical as you want them to be. Currently getting more MPG from the V8 powerstroke (24- 25 mpg) than we are from our 2 1/4 leight weigh Landrover (lucky to get 20mpg). so not that bad considering the V8 is over 3 times bigger. Audi.. true...

What do you think the best engine ever made is? My vote would have to go to a Ford V8 powerstroke. Loads of Torque, power & one of the most reliable engines ever made. Sick

hey, does anyone know what the oil pressure should be on an vw 1.9td engine when its hot? at idle mine runs at about 15- 20 psi. S

Word, go to yell.co.uk and look up Bearing Stockist, there should be someone in your area. Take your old belt along and they'll probably have one in stock for you. I had a quick search & there seems to be alot of "BSL Brammer Ltd" around the country. Peace

Hey vwmark.. I have a 1997 Transporter that with AAZ 1.9td golf engine in it. Do you think this will run ok on VO? NTFM

You dont need a riving knife to meet the regs. check out the Skil orca and the Festool saws.... they dont have them! (well the orca's is removable for plunge cutting) I have spoken to Bosch about this at some length and they say that it is 100% acceptable. [Edited by: Not the Forum Moderator]
