@Jimbobcook we got the buggy 2nd hand for £550, and sold it 2 years later for £350. Came with all the pointless accessories. We've had 2 buggies with tubed tyres, and 2 with solid rubber. Got maybe 2 punctures in 2 years, but you can get innertubes for peanuts (we gave 5 spares to the people we...

My twins just turned 3. Would recommend maxi-cosi isofix bases. We had the Pebble seats, which were good up to about 18 months. Not much room behind the drivers seat in a Leon though. Had a Bugaboo Donkey double buggy, which had an adaptor to allow the Maxi-cosi seats to fit. If these are...

Did this again recently. Turns out I was wrong, and it was the top radiator hose I pulled off. You hardly get any loss of fluid onto the ground. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

As Tom Jones would say... It's not unusual for coolant levels to drop a little after being filled from empty. You're doing the right thing. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Same was happening with mine, where the coolant level was actually dropping on the car, as I guess a vacuum was building up somewhere in the system due to the blocked matrix. The coolant level would rush back up to where it should be when opening the lid. Not happened again since fitting the...

Here's my original mention of the smell Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Yes, that's exactly what mine was like. Kind of a burnt smell, almost like an old BBQ. I recently replaced my coolant again, as it had lost it's pink colour in under 2 years. Turned brownish. The stuff I took out originally was orangey/brown, and that must have been 3 years old. Something not...

Will be interesting to see if access is as simple on a LHD car. You will probably need to remove the kick plate above the pedals for access, but that probably only means a few bolts. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Sure. Although it's been a long time since I did the job. Here are some pics of 'the journey' Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

So managed to get it open after about 20 attempts of unlocking and locking again. Given it a good lubing with GT-80. Noticed mine doesn't lock when closed either. Been looking everywhere for the revised part number, but so far drawn a blank. Might try TPS, as they are only up the road. Sent...

Hero! Thank you. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Does anyone have a photo of the actuator with the flap open please? Want to see where it is, and how it's attached. Think I'll be getting busy with a hacksaw blade! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

About 5 degrees here at the moment, and car defo unlocked... made that mistake on a previous car the day i picked it up. Called the guy I'd just bought it from on my way home. Felt like such a tool! :-D Should I hear a solenoid opening the fuel flap when I unlock the car? Sent from my SM-G960F...

The wife mentioned a few weeks ago she couldn't get it open, I thought she was having a baby brain moment (preggers!). Happened again tonight, and I've gone and checked myself. She wasn't dreaming. It really won't open. Anyone else had this? Got a few days of diesel left before this becomes a...

First attempt was before I bought the wet vac, so lots of soggy shoe action! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Just uploaded to Youtube. Not very enlightening though. :-) Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Stuck the nozzle directly into the top of the reservoir and used some gaffer tape to make a better seal. Then I pulled the return line from the expansion tank and blocked off that hole in the expansion tank. Found a vid, but it won't let me post here because it's MP4' Sent from my SM-G960F...

Doing this pulls pretty much all the coolant out of the system by vacuum. I didn't have any issues with airlocks, etc. when refilling the coolant. Just ran the car normally, then topped up the coolant level when it had settled after a short drive. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

When using a wet vac, I sucked it directly out of the coolant reservoir, and undid a small hose at the top end of the engine. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I ended up buying a carpet cleaner (wet vac), which was great at getting the majority of the coolant out without much mess. Also came in handy with a small baby in the house! Before I bought that, I just removed a lower radiator hose, although due to the complexity of the coolant system and...
