Re: Waxoyl protection

That does seem rather extortionate .I'd expect them to do three cars for that price , as has been stated previous it's not rocket science to do it yourself. I safely jack mine up and place the car on axle stands .Remove the wheels, [slacken nuts before jacking her up], cover the drums, discs with bl...

Re: Lidl car charger with jump start facility ulg 12 B3

It does have a digital display but it's been plugged in since 13.00 hrs this afternoon, and still plugged in some 9 hrs later, and the displays don't seem to be altering at all .

Re: im thinking of buying a morris minor

I concur with all that's been said but just to add that "not all that glitters ain't gold" should be taken into account even with cars that have been "restored" by well known Morris Minor specialists" . Just check out the for sale adds and take on board the "fully resto...
