Nice to have a demister again....now summer is over.

Did you not use one of Jule's gold resistors? These simply hook up to the existing wiring? Strange that you had low speed only as I understood that when the factory resistors failed it was the low speed feature that was lost.

Everything comes in handy some day they say.

True enough for this very old (30 years?) can of tyre dressing.

After a little test I decided it was just the job to get my faded roof rails back to black.

Checked my daughter's Focus oil today found a smidgen at the bottom of the dipstick.So topped it up and thought better check the 75 1.8(you know what's coming)

always check the coolant on every run but not the oil because hardly use it much .Anyway it's only done 17500 miles so why worry......

mustard under the cap so low mileage cars do suffer chg too so beware mileage makes no difference so off to Epsom car care when funds allow

Just wondered anyone else have their gasket go at low miles

Maybe it's age deterioration, not just mileage.

That's seriously low mileage...

Luckygrandads75 · 3rd September 2017, 13:05

Will use the search facility for other causes.Whole of inside covered in finest English so thought must be the chg gone.But I'll look further into it now thanks

Hi Vacuman

Yes the former sole owner according to MOT s only did at most 1500 miles a year and I've added maybe 400 a year so a real live newsagents special...and its had a few batteries too so thought I'd struck gold when for sale at my local dealer

Bought a set of wheels for a car that I'm not collecting until tomorrow. Managed to get a set of Meteors with very good Bridgestones off a good friend, and look forward to fitting them soon!

I salute you sir

Luckygrandads75 · 3rd September 2017, 21:55

For all your help and just hope my mechanic has your knowledge in the spring when funds allow
