Forget the mockers, yes it can be fitted easily. Having said that, is it really worth it? It is only likely to be stolen by joy riders and they will have problems with the immobiliser. IMO you would be better off with a yellow steering wheel bar. --

Could a tracker system be installed on a Fiat Punto 1.2 Yes, but it would be completely and utterly pointless. If someone wants a Punto that desperately, I'd just give it them out of sympathy. -- Lordy

Does anybody know the spark plug gap for a G reg (1990) vauxhall cavalier 1.6? I've looked through my Haynes Manual but chapter one says "see chapter 5", and chapter 5 says...you guessed it... "see chapter 1". While that kept me busy for a few hours maybe I'm just missing something. Any help? Thanks, Mark.

Well I will be soon selling my Mercedes SL and I want to know how much I should ask/accept for it. It is SL280 '94 with private plate with 66k miles backed by a full service history. Parkers guide says, adjusting for mileage, £12950 for a "private good" sale. This doesn't sound like a lot, especially considering this is a fifty plus grand car.

I have a 2.0 16v Turbo car with a T3 and -31 actuator and was wondering what the difference between opening my bleed valve and adjusting my actuator?

Right, I'm off to look at a Clio 172 (not CUP) tommorrow. List Price OTR is 14,600. What car target price is about 800 less. The car I'm viewing is a management car so I expect more than that off. The car's being delivered for me to drive tommorrow so I'm trying to

Hi Other half picked up a new polo in Jan, about a month after she got it the service "chime" started going off when the ignition was turned on, she just reset it after calling the dealers who said it should be fine, but it's just started doing it again, but apparently it's done it once a month or so and this is the 4th or 5th time it's gone off and she's reset it! will try to get main dealer...

does anybody know of any companies or any people who have modernised the dash / other interior 'plastic' of the MK4 Toyota Supra? They're lovely from the outside but rather dated on the inside. Skyline GT-R R34 has a nice interior, but is far too expensive on the used market for me to have an aspirations of owning one.

easiest way is to turn up with a new key, alarm ecu and programmer for the ECU, install the new alarm ecu, reprogram the ecu to suit the new alarm, put the key in and off you go. In VWs/Audis/SEATs the alarm ecu bit that the key talks to is in the dash... Other than that it'd probably be quicker to turn up with a lorry, reach in, let off the handbrake, wheel it onto the lorry and sail off with...
