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...

Hi All

When I bought my mx5, It came with 2 keys but only 1 fob which had seen better days and the fob was partly broken easy to drop off the ring which it did several times :/,

I bought one from Ebay and the listing was total BS, it was basically an empty fob :(

This listing however was legit...

I was looking for a new welder and wanted a semi auto one , which basically means that you just input all the info on the screen that you are using and press enter , which then calculates it all for you and you just need to crack on with the bacon noise, but they were a dear bit of kit going into...

Just bought some waterproofer for my rag top MK2.
Not the usual well known proofer @ £18 per litre but a very good proofer @ £25ish for 5 litres. Suitable for rag tops only, canvas etc.
Go to HLS Supplies to order HLS FS-75 Fabric sealer. You will not be disappointed.

I have a 4.5" battery and mains angle grinder but for doing the Mk2 sills they are a bit clumsey.

Ebay have a £30, 3" angle grinder mains powered non branded but looks not disimilar to my mains 4 1/2 angle grinder.

I have Ryobi batteries and they do a 3" cut off saw for around £100...

Hi all, thought I would share my 3 most used tools from the Sealey cordless tool range.

The thing I like about this range is the small size and the fact it’s design for the automotive industry.

I purchase a drill, impact driver and wrench some time ago and most recently added a grinder to my...

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...

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.

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

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...

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...
