    Anyone ever used...

Unless your leather is severely cracked the best thing is leather...

    the cd changer won't responding ( p38 1996 )

    If like me you use Cd's made on your pc, ie compilation discs etc then cd changers don't like them. The leccy at work told me in his last job he was always getting cars in with faulty cd changers, and the only problem was the cd's not being originals. Newer cd changers are fine but older ones...

Speakers and power leads are fine, but it looks like there are two ariel leads, I'm thinking one might be connected to the Sat nav. Is this correct and if so is it the red one? Any help is welcome before I...

    tailgate button inop

    Does anyone know what the likely problem is when the button to open the tailgate does not work. I know how to release it from inside, but any ideas if it's more likely to be the lock or the rods etc. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I got the print out and all was fine for a few days, which makes me think it's a very small leak which takes several days to drain the gas.

    Getting a steering wheel relathered....

    Your much better off getting a new one, I trim Rollers for a living and doing steering wheels is a nightmare. You can get an average to poor finish very easily, but to get it looking at least as good as the original was takes ages, and I mean about 8 hours. And since most trimmers will charge...
