Went into Tescos and they have REDEX engine oil on special offer but maybe only in some stores. Only worth picking up if you are in store for other stuff as it may not be on offer at your local store.

They have 10W/40 semi for the MK1, Mk2 and Mk2.5 1.6, 5W/40 synthetic, 5W30 all synthetic in...

I have been trying to find a Mk 1 gearbox filler plug wrench/spanner for a while now and with it being square plus where it is for space and also the age from the last time any of these would have been cracked from the last oil change is not a easy task.
Most just get a open 14mm spanner and...

Version 2 is out and tested for you lot....

****FOOT NOTE****On the MK 2 what i meant about "will not test" ,on the MK 1 is the Fan test as the pin in the diagnostic block does not have that pin to test with like the MK 1 version which means that feature on the tester is of no use as...

In the larger stores, they are doing Tesco Branded 10W/40, A3/B4, 4 litres for £8.00 semi synthetic.

Offer valid until Mid September 2019.

It is Carlube 10W/40 API repackaged as Tesco Oil. Similar to what you get at a motor factor.

A basic oil from a very large oil blender.

That time of year again.

They are in Aldi now and Lidl on Thursday 22nd September also lots of other stuff you never knew you needed and have lived life in the past without!

The units in Aldi may be Scotland only as I have noticed that the Scottish stores can have different offers.

The usual deal

4 Litres of 10W/40 semi synthetic £12
4 Litres of 5W/30 fully synthetic £12

If you have a Mk3 it is cheaper to buy two tubs of 5W/30 or look elswhere for a deal on 5 litres.

I'm going to be using my large compressor to underseal a Mk3, in the past I have used aerosols and a brush.

My thoughts are the aerosols with the long wand do not have enough grunt to really blast the inside of cavities and you guys I reckon believe that.

To do underneath do you guys just use the...

These are pennies really.....

This is a 100% testing tool to find a dead ABS sensor, the warning light can be misleading as can the fault codes...

First you will need a new or s/hand working ABS sensor, it really does not matter if it is the front or back as long as it works and is complete with the loom and plug, if it is a...

I have had a couple of the 1.2 low level light weight alloy jack's from Machine mart stickerd up as clarkes, but wanted a higher lifting weight, low level and and still alloy so light to move around and use. so i was looking at their 1.5 tonn version as i have the 2.5 and is not really that...

Just ordered one of these, it came up while searching for other things, unsure if it is any good, but my thinking is..... when doing water pumps, rad changes or anything to do with the cooling system, you need to run up to temp to make sure there are no air pockets, the fan kicks in as should be,...
