E5 or E10?
So I have been using E5 in my 1994 1.8CL Estate since the petrol spec change in September. Forced to top up with some E10 thanks to the fuel panic buying crisis. Anyone got any thoughts on whether E10 will damage the hoses etc on our older models thanks to the higher ethanol content?

So I went for it and having watched a youtube video on taking headlights apart all went rather well. Sent the reflectors to Dual Metallising for re-coating and the difference is stunning.

I have to say the visibility on unlit roads on dipped headlights is not very good. I have seen a company ca...

Re: Windows come down when unlocking door
Thanks for your advice. I noticed some of the rubber seals around the door handles are disintegrating so I applied Tiger Seal all around. Hoping perhaps with all the rain before Christmas water had got in. Also had the rear passenger door apart as window motor has not worked for some time, got a con...

Windows come down when unlocking door
Hello, I have a 94 Estate which I have owned since 96. In the last few days every time I unlock the car, with either key in either front door, all the windows come down. I cannot get them back up from inside the car and have to relock the car from the outside. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciat...
