    super market diesel fuel isnt good?

    I don't work for BP! It does work, I have a Jag XJ40 and it increased my MPG by 20 in six months! Besides, you do know that BP are the majority share holder in Shell. They re-designed it to fail by badly refining oils and selling it cheaper - BP remaining a premium brand - but now BP make...

    super market diesel fuel isnt good?

    The idea of the different refinement of fuels is to improve the way the car using it performs. That's right. The different fuels are purer (E.g. The Excellcium, Ultimate, V Power...) Now here is where the difference becomes clear, what happens is: the impurities which supermarket and the...

    LED rear lights

    So which is the best set to go for? I was looking at the RDX sets from boltonbits, but they don't have them on anymore. I want a set of the full 10 (Fog and Reverse included) with all clear lenses. I'm not bothered if LED or not, as long as they look like they are. I really don't like the look...

    Yeah, started using turps on it, only problem is it goes through a lot of roll/rag since it's so thick :) :brick:! Managed to salvage all the original stickers though :)

    Oh and back to Tom: Well it is completely as original, has had 4 owners (I'm 5th), started life as the Riviera Blue County model it still is. I'm lucky enough to have found such a model in need of restoration cosmetically as it is mechanically sound :) Needs some painting underneath though...

    Yeah sorry for the original pic, my Dad has some on his camera of how it looked. The current ones I just added are better, just click the thumbnail, load the enlarged image and you can magnify that. Thanks for looking though!

    And these four show how the work in progress is going. Having removed corrosion I'm using P320 Wet and Dry to remove all the clear coat everywhere on the car. Also trying POR 15 on the bare metal areas as a preventative against future oxidisation, especially since it means I can leave it as bare...
