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...

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.

Yes what a...

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...

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...

This turned up the other day from the bay of E to try.....

Main search....

I have a full size very dear endoscope that i use to inspect the sills etc, but this is spot on, throw it in the glove box etc, you can film on your phone direct through the APP that is a free down load, it does...

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to...

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,...

Just spotted this. I *think* thats a pretty good price, although correct me if I'm wrong. And delivered to your door for a few quid (not sure del costs)

Until Sunday August 2nd Halfords have their usual summer offer of 4 ltrs of engine oil for £12.

The 5W/40 or 10W/40 is great for a Mk1 but the 5W maybe a bit better if your tappets are noisy at startup but either will do the job.

The 5W/30 for Ford is good for the Mk2 and the Mk3 but the Mk3...
