My friend uses wet sandpaper and hard cut e.g. 'scratch remover' type polishing compound to renew plastic type headlight lenses.
My advise would be to use 1500-2000-3000 wet sandpaper - obviously...

I buy Bosch parts from http://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ try and pay with PayPal as their credit card process is weird I guess due to being victims of online fraud.

I just bought Bosch HT leads, rotor and distributor cap for my 850 T5, they turned up yesterday - it was less than £100 delivered...

If I'd gone with high quality non OEM parts it could have been...

Use genuine plugs and I'd be very careful fitting pattern parts especially where dizzy caps, HT leads and rotor arms are concerned. From experience, they tend to not fit well, leads are way too long...

worth doing the pcv whilst the manifold is off and you can get to it easily, if it hasn't had it done recently

If the injectors were leaking and over fuelling the cylinders then you'd have loads of dark grey smoke from the exhaust and the plugs would be black. Over Fueling does not burn out plugs but the...

Burned up electrodes is usually lean rather than rich, you could do a flow back test on the injectors to check they are all working properly .

as MRP said might be running lean..maybe injectors needs a clean? could that elbow be letting air in although that wouldn't explain only 2 pots being affected

Might be running a bit lean on 1 and 2?

Have you checked the PCV vacuum pipe that goes to the end of the inlet manifold (behind the steering pump)?

On mine the elbow which connects the plastic pipe to the manifold had perished and was...

Apologies for my delayed reply. There is still a lot going on in the background.

It's been breathing to much of that clean sea air down there in Ilfracombe, that's your problem. Try a run to Weston that will really make it feel ill :)

Hello fellow VPCUK-ers,

I was thinking of a way to give a little something back to the VPCUK community, which has been so helpful to me over the last few years - particularly recently with my...

Hi Wellsy, when i did mine, i just undone the grub screw afew turns and the door should slide up and off real easy. Be ready for the weight of the door though, they aint light.

Dicky.

if you open the door on the hinge you'll find a little grub-screw near the top, this is basically keeping the 2 parts of the hinge together & stopping the door from lifting off. Warning tho it won't...
