Hi All, Whilst I was on the Tfl website reading about cars for ULEZ I found out that you could do a retrofit to your car via the exhaust i.e. 2 new cats & the rest of the exhaust pipes in sstainless steel or the standard pipes etc: including silencers which would be alot less the buying...

Hi Maarten, THANKS All done oil seals came off easliy and put the seals back on just as easliy & then put everything back in order. Turn the key and nothing still won't start! engine rotating maybe the battery or alternator. If it is the alternator how tight should the belt be?

Hi Maarten, Could that be a pri-bar & should I not put oil or wd40 to help loosen the seals Peter0003

Hi All , I managed to remove the rocker cover ( many thanks from YOU all) . But nobody has said how you replace the oil seals which are not easy and at one point I tried heat from my camping stove trying to melt it off . But these seals are designed to withstand heat so that didn't work. All...

Hi All , I'm trying to fix the spark plug oil seals in the rocker cover but it would help if I could remove the aluminium rocker cover in the first place ? How is it done, I removed all the screws & rubber tubes holding it in place and apart from hitting it with a hammer & small peace of wood...

Hi All, My rear wheel panhard rod snapped last week and have just bought another on ebay, To make this one last longer should I paint in anti rust paint or anything else and should I renew the the bushes in this rod & used the same nut & bolts. Yours peter0003

Hi All, What should I be replacing or checking on my k11's 100,000 mile service, I could give it a basic service but is there anything else I need to do example replace the thermostat as I don't know when that was fitted last and the radiator is looking old as it is probably 24 years old. I...

Hi There , I use super unleaded but have now started to use e10 fuel additive done by Millers £10 from halfords or cheaper via ebay. If you've used e10 already and it's in the tank try putting 50ml to 100ml in to tank and this should help. Or try to fit a new rubber fuel pipe instead ! Yours...

Best thing to do with rubber replacement pipe is to contact manufacturers and as the rubber pipe would be over 20 years old in your car & mine, replacing it would be a good idea anyway. When reading instructions on additive bottle it states you add it per fill up if tank is empty but again...

Have you looked at them closely and have they failured you in doing there job have they snapped, if not try this, I brushed them to remove the dirt & surface rust. I then painted them with Kurust a very liquidity rust cure paint that returns rust into solid metal. I painted the coil springs all...
