Anyone out there had problems with their heating/AC ? After weeks of the AC not working on our '97 XLT some intensive research turned up that Fird fitted the wrong Blender Doors on their vehicles around 96-97 that crack and jam in place. Remedy is $1000 and alot of hassle. I have found...

Well what did ya expect ??? Its been a bit stale round here for a while so I thought I might spice it up a lil bit. After starting the two popular 'What Products Wouldn't You Use' and 'What Vehicles Do You Dislike Alot' I've been racking my brains and come up with : What part...

Went to top up my supply of wheel cleaner & tire shine and noticed a blue spray bottle with 'Prestone' on it. Seems the makers of my most favourite upholstery cleaner have come up with a tire spray! Anyone who tries it out plzzzzzz post a comment - its a buck cheaper than Eagle 1 and if...

Rotary users! I've finally decided to step up and get something with a little more 'ooomph'. Is there much difference between the Makita and DeWalt rotaries ? I've seen both for sale, I like and have a few Makita power tools but some folks swear by the DW. Any hints/tips/comments...

While driving back from ordering some more business cards yesterday I got stuck in some slow moving traffic at the roadworks on a local junction. Movement to my right made me look over to see two young girls holding a large, hand-drawn sign saying 'High School Cheerleader Carwash!!' Then the...

Just a little thought provoking thread ...... Anyone used a product, had some difficulty with it and put it back on the shelf never to see the light of day again ? The ones that come to mind for me immediately are Klasse SG (too thin!! too hard to see when its hazed so I always miss...

Went to show Jngrbrd my favourite supply shop today and came away with a gallon of Megs #26 for under$10! W00t! Itll do for budget jobs, wheels rims etc etc. Went to pay for that and some IHG i want to try and we noticed these little things: I'll try em out on the in-laws...

What makes them worth 15 bucks when a sheet of wet flat paper is only 75c ? Just wondered if theres something special about them apart from they have the Megs name. Anyone know ?

I have my first convertible to do this friday. Any tips/hints/suggestions on getting it looking good ?

Ok .. im goin to drool over the nice motors, dish out a few business cards and take photos. I'll post em on here when theyre done. There better be some stuff worth photographing!!

I moved to the USA from the UK last year and love just about everything here except one. No Imports!!!!! Weve had the Mitsubishi Evo for years (2003 will see the Evo 8 in Britian) and they only just now deem it ok to import it here, albeit a toned down version :( Weve had the Subaru...
