Just found my cover in the garage over the weekend.

I have worked in the insurance sector for the last 18 years, it is very challenging especially with insurance premium tax, admin fees, brokers, price comparison sites etc. 

Shop around is the best advice and it would be good to support our sponsors. If anyone has a massive issue between £20-£50 a year then kitcars are probably not the hobby for you.

I have just got a small trailer tent with a fibreglass base in black gel coat.

I tried wrapping and struggled on some of the complicated curves. So I have decided to spray paint it. What's the best method of covering black gel and do I need sand and prime first?

Thank you in advance.

Is it only running on 4?

I only have 4, if it started running on 8 I would be happy.

Sounds a bit fuelly

I was thinking about it because I still have the old facet bullet filter fitted. It's been there for 3500 miles.

Could the TPS be faulty?  

Easy to test but if intermittent could be a problem.

Very nice, I like shiny bits.

Weird fault I am struggling to diagnose and need you help/ideas.

Whilst driving yesterday at a steady 60mph down a straight road just cruising not accelerating or taking my foot off the pedal, the car hesitated and slowed down. Felt like me taking my foot of the gas for a few seconds, but I didn't. On pressing the accelerator it coughs and splutters then picks up again. Same thing happened 5-6 times, what do you think it could be?

Coil, plugs, leads, fuel filter don't fancy swapping everything and I we have a camping trip coming up so needs to be sorted.

Hoping to do this with a few others as well but coming at it from SW and using Chunnel as some get seasick

I do, I feel sick looking at boats in the sea on TV. Fingers crossed, take some meds, get on the boat and fall asleep asap.

Decided to test my car limits with a longer drive and signed up to NW kit car club Le Man's trip next year.

Will be a great experience with visits to WW2 sites on route.

Welcome, nice colour.

Read the IVA manual and work to pass it then worry about the wish list and modifications. Build IVA Drive Modify, Drive oh don't forget breakdown and modify again.

Brake or carb cleaner for me.

4 years driving without with no problems.

Hi,

Before buying a replacement, have you got any gauges yet, because most gauge manufacturers will sell a matched oil pressure switch so the readings will be accurate.

Don't buy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153495862610

Very good and lots of adaptors https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s/steering-wheels/momo/quick-release-steering-bosses-spacers

Looking forward to it.

It is worth paying a little extra on the boss kit there has been many stories of cheaper versions breaking. As for the size it's really up to you and your driving position do you want/need the steering wheel nearer to you.

Personally anything less than 280 I would struggle, what ratio steering rack do you have is it Does or Mazda?

Completely your choice the quick release boss is separate to the steering wheel they bolt together. Find the steering you like, don't go to small it might look good but the driving experience is not very good.

Wow, looks amazing, will it fit in caravan for EOSB?

Son bought a DeWalt he works for Screwfix & gets 20% off even sale items, seem very good, now have several tools & several batteries

I wish my son worked at Screwfix, I always use the local branch in Telford. Great service every time.

Hi,

Any recommendations for chrome/stainless steel wrapping supplier or specific brand.

Shed loads on internet but have no experience with any. 

I went through the Ryobi set last night, 100 tools available including various gardening tools.

Hi All,

Looking for a recommendation on the best battery tool set where one battery can fit many tools i.e. drill, angle grinder, jigsaw, torch, circular saw etc.

Fed up of multiple boxes and different batteries and chargers. Not going to replace all in one go just when the next tool breaks. Drill is nearly there.

I know most makes do a set but just looking for recommendations for a keen DIY'er.

Thanks

Mark

Yes for me.

I asked DVLA for a chassis number and they sent it within a week others have made there's up.
