In France it would be a fail on the the CT (MOT equivalent) to have mismatched tyres on the same axle. Years ago you used to hear horror stories of people mixing cross-ply with radials.

I haven't needed to top up since the engine was completely rebuilt 18 months & 15K miles ago. I actually have an unopened litre of ready diluted OAT in the boot if the level ever drops.

We have three taps in the kitchen. Hot & cold softened water plus cold straight from the mains for filling up the kettle. We would never have considered fitting a water softener which was already installed when we moved into the house. It's a...

Likewise. New airsprings all round about 5-6 years ago. Methodically recalibrating the EAS about 4 years ago got rid of the little dance when stationary at traffic lights & road junctions. I do about 8-10K miles per year but the last time I had...

We have a water softener. What comes out the tap is deionised water so I just use water straight from the tap.

I had to do this recently as the rear wiper motor failed so I swapped it for one from a breaker. I'm not sure that I understand what problem the OP is having. It's just as it says in RAVE. You flip up the cover over the nut then get a spanner on...

I only discovered that there was a difference in size when trying to fit a 39mm at the rear where a 36mm was required. The heat sink on my 39mm lamps was shorting out every time that I tried to fit the oversize bulb. Interestingly the circuit...

I bought some of these that provide a much nicer light. Instead of the three LED dots there are a dozen smaller ones that give a more even light. You need a 39mm for the front & 36mm for each side at the rear.

I have the original P38 bottle jack but prefer to carry a trolley jack. Touch wood I have never needed to change a wheel at the roadside but wouldn't be comfortable using the supplied bottle jack.

I had V8 Developments completely rebuild my engine nearly two years ago. They did a complete turnkey job removing & replacing the engine. I just dropped the car off then collected it later. Be aware that you may need to wait some months before...

Click where it says "Option 1" in the post above !!

They look just the job. Please can you provide a link so I can buy some too?

@Flossie Can I ask where you got your LEDs? I got a set of LEDs from eBay & have just replaced all my interior lamps but would like some that are a bit brighter. I would also prefer a warmer colour as the ultra white LEDs I have look a bit out...

There are no rubber components in the fuel line that will be adversely affected by ethanol. When I am in France I run my P38 on E85 (85% bioethanol) which is half the price of E10. Like LPG the calorific density of ethanol is less than petrol so...

Happily it's not that expensive. Before 1st March 2001 it's £345 & after it's £415.
