Noticed some oil residue on one side of the rear diff casing, it wasn't think and wet but was still pretty fresh. It looked to be completely my from higher the the shaft seals, my mot mate reckoned it could be from a breather higher up on the casing and out of sight. Anyone had this can confirm...

Anyone have any remedies for removing this annoyance? Why someone has been leafleting on car windscreens in this weather is beyond me, do they not have sense!

Need some help, finally got around to looking at the engine as there was some yellowish residue. Residue (it's not as yellow as the image would suggest): Coil pack (there was evidence of water in the coil pack rubber) Also some evidence of water around the spark plug when removed...

I've always debadged the model numbers on the back of my cars with no issues, however when I took the Blueefficiency badges off the wings it left a lot of sticky residue that won't budge with the good old fingernails + hot water. I was wondering if you detailing experts could recommend the...

Hi Guys, Just had 4 new tyres, and of course new balancing weights....problem is, where they removed the old weights there is a black stripe where the glue is still stuck to the alloy. Any suggestions on removing without marking the alloys?

Hi, I've just removed the labelling on the back of my estate (black) 2005 and having cleared all the adhesive etc there is still an echo of the missing badges! Is this the original polish or lacquer that hasn't aged or something else? Can I get rid of it and if so how? I'm assuming polish is...

Hi folks, Got a warning to fill up with 1 litre of oil at next refuel tonight on way home on the motorway, so duly did so when I got home. When I took the filler cap off to add the oil there was a very slight white residue on the underside of the fillercap and around the outside of the thread...

Hi - I hope I can pick someone's brain. Went to look at a 2001 S500 for sale today. It has just over 100k on the engine. When I had a look at the oil filler cap, there was a faint hint of yellowish/white on the inside of the cap. I've seen much worse in the past on other cars. This was just...

I have just removed my intercooler to replace the seals. The intercooler is very clean, however the bottom left hand side condensor which is behind it is covered in an oily residue (about a 150x150mm area) The air conditioning became ineffective and was recharged about 6 weeks, and already it...

I noticed last week that I had a small amout of yellow/white residue under my oil filler cap so thought Ah! do I have a head gaskett problem. I wiped it clean and again a week later it is back again. This is not thick sludge or even that much, it is very thin and swirled in with the small amount...

I attempted to peel off the dealer's advert sticker from the inside of my rear window. After about an inch of peelage, I noticed the sticker was leaving behind a stubborn layer of scum on the window. What should I be using to remove this mess? I have been told nail varnish remover, but...
