Re: 1.7 turbo diesel won't start! turning over but not firing.

cheers! dont want the back panel though. prefer it without! i have an exceptinal place to source parts from myself. i could have had either of the black back panels. i used to prefer them with. my old cav did have one. i'm just a bit of a purist now and more plastic equals more weight and a slower c...

Re: Its amazing what you can do with a mop!
oh and to all that read this post make sure you mask all the black trims! i left one door handle half unmasked so i could get in and it took one hell of alot of scrubbing with a scrubbing brush to get the pink stains out of it.

Re: Its amazing what you can do with a mop!
i'm told as long as i keep polishing after each wash all should be ok. the chap who did it for me works on site, it only cost me £20 to get it done so i'm not too worried if it turns pink in six months, i'll just get it done again. Not bad at all, Had the same problem with my nova, it just turned pi...
