Manheim Coventry has not been open for at least a year , You could try West Oxfordshire Motor Auctions at Witney or BCA Measham perhaps.

Splashed out on a new 019 Bosch battery , the old one with an iffy cell is still good enough to start my mothballed Diesel polo , and fits after tweaking the plastic tray( so kind of two for the price of one !)

Good points there Peapod , I got at mine from the front while I had the headlights out , I can also recommend 210 owners make an effort to periodically remove the "skids" along the sills (8mm socket IIRC) as these can trap a continual poultice of wet crud against the outer sill , unseen which...

I cant see where the seller keeps fumbling on about tenth of miles on the Odo , because there doesnt appear to be any? This looks a potentially nice car with a bit of TLC , all thats missing to be a classic cheapie Merc ad is "the unused first aid kit" and once owned by "an embassy" . Hope it...

And when the heater switch module drops out , its £900 + fitting Then you've got the tyre pressure sensors (££) to change with the tyres , nah keep the Saab

Bringing a Reliant Rialto back from the MOT test , at Vmax (65 mph) with the window down the mechanics plastic seat cover i'd discarded on the passenger seat whipped up and covered my whole view momentarily (longest second of my life) was hard to let go of that nasty little steering wheel but...

The Midas Centre in troyes number is 03 25 73 73 74 Located 8 Boulevard Victor Hugo but of course its closed Sunday malheuresement. Michelin Onway is an (expensive) alternative No cant find any open Sunday , Speedy Norauto Feu Vert etc all closed - Might be a "switched on" operator with an...

I have a Hi-viz vest as its compulsory in France (ditto spare Bulb kit) and a mag-lite torch because the batteries seem to last many years of little use, unlike most other torches.

Personally, I ground down a cheap(ish) 8mm allen key and fitted a foot or so of central heating tube (to the longer end) to make a suitable tool - there just wasnt room to do much else without moving the rad. Upon retorquing the copper tube starts to bend at about the right point too. A...

Use a flat kitchen knife wrapped in a handkerchief to prise up the gear shifter surround first .

The 210 ones are a light plastic construction whereby a plastic pin pushes up to lock the "doughnut" piece into the sill - Needs a rubber mallet or a big hand - Cost around £3 IIRC

Love the packet of green papers on the wheel ! Deeeeep innit

Darrell, Wasnt there a restriction on Skiathos regarding age of vehicles you can import? An aquaintance had to bring a UK reg'd 93 Polo back a few years ago? Im sure you've looked into this by the way - just interested.

I would try a knitting needle to pull the loose threads tighter where possible and trim the loose strands/ threads carefully off with nail scissors im sure that will 90 per cent cure it. Looks like a ring or a heel has caught it! Its all a repairers going to do, short of completely replacing the...

Id bet a tenner those Books are all sorted in alphabetical order in the garage too !

Damn "Bulb faulty" light its almost a reflex to press the [][][] button every time I start her up!

It can happen - I have a polo "7n" owing to a slip of the pen at the original dealer - which is only 400 yds from my house so I know the cars totally genuine.

My Barn in france has a 91 Renault 5 , a Honda Moped and an old serp. belt! (click on image to see full size) And in the garage here is a spare 210 wing for when I need it!
