I seem to remember seeing ads for door / window rubber restorer somewhere. Does the stuff work or is it cack? I'm thinking of 15 year old rubbers on a MK2 golf that are getting a bit ropey (window scraper and door seal specifically).

A modest but solid starting point http://freespace.virgin.net/ian.cvt55/webx.htm

Hi, I want to top the the oil up in a rear axle, as previously it was leaking, but the filler plug is seized. Someone has tried to remove it before slightly rounding the nut so that now a socket will not fit. I have brought some stillsons, but has anyone got any tips to make it easier to get off without damaging the plug, for example would heating the plug up first help? ...

There was a thread a little while ago about this but it ended up in a discussion about insurers own breakdown cover. My insurer doesnt offer this, and my current breakdown cover mob dont either, so I started ringing round to cover a 9 day trip to France for the Minors On Tour event next weekend. The ONLY mob prepared to quote are so far the AA, with a rather entertaining offer of £89 for the...

Hi, I can buy a 1989 Austin Metro car. The Haynes manual I saw, mentions the need for consultation of a Rover dealer when the suspension system needs to be filled up, or when work on the suspension is needed and the system has to be depressurized. Regarding the situation around the Rover make, is it unwise to get this car??

Anyone thinking of visiting the Anglesey Steam Rally (or Vintage Rally or whatever it's called) this next weekend? I'll be there on the Saturday with my Triumph Vitesse (yellow saloon with white stripe), so say come over and say hello. If you haven't visited before, it's a good show with a mix of machinery from traction engines through vintage to classic cars, tractors commercials, etc. It's...

Brand new accelerator cable(bought from a bike shop), on a '79 Spitfire, Weber carb. After doing away with the old ZS carb linkage retrofitted on the Weber, I had to get a new cable. But, as being a new cable, it sticks. WHat's the best way to lube it? Was advised against wd-40. Have graphite. Weather's been bad so I haven' t had a chance to apply it yet.

Is there any place in Inet or any office (DVLA?) where I can know the owners name of a car, entering its registration plate number? Thanks. Jesus jbenajesATmotDOTupvDOTes

I've just cleaned years of muck out of the inside of a Rover V8 sump - and stripped the black paint off most of it in the process. Now, do I leave it as bare steel and risk some rust until oil has coated it again, or do I paint it and risk the heat and oils dislodging paint flakes and potentially clogging the oilways when the engine reaches working temperature? Logically I suppose I should...
