My blue pipe was also very brittle and eventually parts of the hose cracked. All I did was cut the origional pipe from about a cm from where the pipe connects to the black rubber plug and went to the local car parts shop, bought a new hose (its just a flexible hard wearing tube) and then...

sockpuppet: Thanks for the clarification, appreciated! Cheers!

sockpuppet, Thank you very much for your reply! Much appreciated. The connectors you cleaned, are you referring to the long 'fingernail' connectors on the back of the light switch or the 'female' connectors on the wiring loom? Cheers!

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I had to replace the brake light switch and in doing so I had to remove the lower dash cover. I have a Seat Leon 130 TDI 2003 model. When I put the lower dash cover back on and screwed it all in place, I found that when I turn on my dipped beam lights...

Thank you very much for this guide! Found that my brake light switch had gone after getting the 'coil' warning light on my dash. I tried to remember as much as possible from this guide as I had to replace the switch in the works car park. Although the brake lights work, I have somehow...

Hi all, Recently my leon fabia wiper has deteriorated and so the rubber has fallen off. To note, I made the mistake of buying the short wiper but it did the job of cleaning the rear windscreen because I'm not that tall! I cant seem to find another replacement wiper from anywhere. Can anyone...

Cossie-boy, Exactly what LEE69 has said, that was my issue. You need to ensure the tray that the pollen filter sits in is sealed. All edges. Cheers

bigbadjay: Thanks for your reply mate. Appreciate the guidance given. I thought it might be the case of re-application a few times. I'll do just that when I get round to it and will post results. Thanks again!

Robaidh: Thanks for your reply. My car is black. For the polishing compounds, do I use poorboys black hole, buff and then apply the polishing compounds? Sorry if its a stupid question just want to make sure. marty_34: Thanks for your feedback. Going to look into those products too and see how...

G.P: thanks for taking time to read my thread. Appreciate it and will go for the Auto Finesse Tripple! Is this a polisher too combined or will I have to apply something else after it? Cheers mate!

Ladies/Gents, I have been looking at various threads and I must say there is a lot of good advice out there. A lot of what is advised is very time consuming but I understand that you guys want to have the best finish. So the exam question: After I have finished washing my car and dried...

bigbadjay: Thanks for your reply. No I don't have any clay. I'm thinking to buy the Iron X anyway as I want something that will give me the results time and time again. So far Ive heard it works wonders!

Gents, I have been trying to remove these black stains from my alloys. Baked brake dust I guess..It looks like a similar problem to the issue posted before. Should Iron X do the trick? Just want confirmation before I spend unnecessary cash. Thanks for the help!
