    Any decent engine additives?

    I think this has got out of propartion, it's not amazing to the extent when you start you car it's going to blow you off and clean the house, thats why we have wifes. Sales people will tell you anything weather it's true or not. It may not be as good as the sale guy said but it is very good...

    Snorkels!

    Just make sure you put a mushroom top on it and it wont take in anywhere near as much dust as a safari one

    starting a fire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i saw a thing once where some one had to two series heater box's, cut them both in half and welded them together so it was an extra big heater box, which could fit two of the radiators in, apparantly if you measure it carefully it will just fit under the bonnet and it doubles the heat.

    Kenlowe & Electric Fan switches

    Snorkels!

    if you want to cut the cost's right down, make your own snorkle out of drain pipe, just buy the mushroom for the top and make the rest from black drain pipe, doesn't look that different and far cheeper.
