Can someone (chipman) show a pic of these fiendish flip up seats with headrests - I thought you'd have trouble closing the rear door with them in place

The first paramedics to arrive at the Beverly Hills Hilton were heard to say "Houston, we have a problem!"

2nd hand Thule roof bars/box and ebay ladder was £45

It's added to the oil Geoff. Forte do a whole range of products from engine to cooling to auto boxes. I've use their products and found they worked. A Bongo which had been dormant for 3 years had a smoking problem with hardened valve stem oil seals. An oil flush, fresh oil and 2 cans of seal swell s...

A common cause of leaking seals is a blockage in the engine breather system - best get it thoroughly checked or the new seals could leak again.

I've also used a product called seal swell which effectively rejuvenates hardened seal lips

5% petrol or paraffin is fine Helen - to these ol' design engines it will do no harm. A friend of mine filled his 120,000 mile '90s Passat with petrol and set off down the motorway for 50 miles - only when he lifted off for a roundabout it cut out and wouldn't restart.

Beeper etc. but yes you can reach all the required connections from behind the Offside rear lights, loossen the screws then slide the whole box out to t...

Slice through a heater hose (on a Bongo..??) then fit a metal pipe surrounded by a polythene tube ... on each end of the polythene there was a 'nipple' .. slice through / extend the washer pipe and connect to the nipples ... The Polythene 'cover' got filled with washe...

Janice - I'm choosing my words carefully here but either the "specialist" is fobbing you off with drivel or you are mishearing what's being said. A head gasket can't be skimmed, it's a gasket(or seal) The cylinder head doesn't always need to be changed. It's possible there's been sealant p...

Ok - a bit of outside the box thinking....................is it possible the cold start flap on the exhaust is sticking - I think they are linked into the turbo boost system and it opens the flap if the engine tries to seek power. Why not completely disconnect the extra cold start system - don't nee...

Pete - Ask your dealer how the pump timing can "go out" because unless the securing nuts have all loosened off (highly unlikely) or teeth have stripped of the drive gear (again highly unlikely) then the pump timing stays exactly where it was when the engine was built.
