    Squeaky Drivers Seat!!!

    If you can wait until I find a teenager to do it for me......... It is where the seat and back pivot. If you sit on your seat you will see at each side of your b'tox a gap where there are metal workings that allow reclining of the seat, its there

    Squeaky Drivers Seat!!!

    Mine did the same E coupe on a 62 plate. I cured it by spraying some light oil ( scott oil 365 ) down the side of the seat where the mechanical cogs are ( I'm sure there is a proper word for the gubbins ). Overspray was prevented by the good old faithful paper kitchen towel. I do it about once a...

    When did 30mph become too fast?

    The 20mph limits were introduced to stop people driving at 40 in a 30mph zone because as we all know if circumstances allow everyone ( ok not everyone ) adds 10mph to the limit. The local authority have recently slapped a carpet 20mph limit on a town near me as a lot of elderly pedestrians were...

    New wipers are squeaking!!!!

    Try cleaning your glass with white spirit which will remove the crud that detergent doesn't and see if that helps. Even if you think your glass is clean you will be surprised at the amount of dirt that is transferred onto a piece of kitchen towel.

    Any driving examiners on forum

    Congratulations. Did she look at you like you had done something unspeakable when you asked her to talk out loud about the car journey. I remember my lad looking at me as if I had asked him to burn his Xbox. I still wind him up when he is on taxi duties by shouting "MIRROR" when he hasn't looked...

    2 Black leads

    My guess is a power feed and a co-ax for a powered antenna.

    Any driving examiners on forum

    I know Wednesday is almost upon us but take her out in the car and get her to talk non stop about what is going on around her. Not just in the car but what other vehicles and pedestrians are doing and what hazards she can see. When I taught my lad this helped him a lot as it made him a lot...

    My E coupe does it. Silicon spray down the sides of the seat does the trick. You only need a quick blast..
