• Best car wax 14 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Thinking of giving the old machine a once over. Whats the Backrooms opinion on the best car wax as in the best result for the least effort?
• Red cars 6 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Will todays new red cars still fade as badly as ten year old ones or has technology improved colour fastness of red pigments?

• Any - Do I keep the warranty? 12 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Just bought 1 year old car from main dealer.  It has 2 years  remaining warranty. Previous cars have been too old for this luxury  and been serviced by a trusted local independent, so I'm out of  touch with the rules.

  Hi I've just bought a 08 plate Chrysler 300C diesel which has only done 20 miles and was owned by Chrysler themselves. I'm guessing it was sitting in...
• recognition test.. 31 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I was sorting through old files and foders last week and discovered old negatives from my college days. The link below leads to a pic. of a fellow student's Topolino that we re-built and ran for a year whilst at the Swansea College of Art.
• Fabricating a part 10 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Bear with me here, but I'm wondering as to the feasibility of making my own pollen filter housing for my car. The current arrangement has 4 (Yes, 4) parts, not including the filter. My old Fiesta had a box with a lid. You took the old filter out, and put a new one in. I don't know what the VAG designers were smoking when they designed the abomination on my car, but I think I could do better.
• Power steering pump - Ford Fiesta 21 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  It looks easy enough to get to, but having never done a power steering pump before was wondering if it needed any special bleeding or if there was a specific procedure that needed to be followed. Kinda disappointed that its already playing up on a 3 year old car with 37,000 miles. Ive owned lots of cars, 10 years old with mileage well over 100,000 and never had to change a power steering pump before.
• Wheel trim repair? 22 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Whilst trying to parallel park today, I got a bit too close to a high kerb and ended up giving my poor old trims a bit of scuff. :-( Thing is, they were nearly perfect, and the originals from when the car was new, so I wont throw them away and with the car being 13 years old, they're not easy to come by.
• amazing sighting 10 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I in the Royal Signals in the early 70's in Dorset and my first car was a Viva HB, light blue and very common at the time. In 2000 I was at a reunion in Blandford and who was the car in front at the lights? my old Viva in immaculate condition. The engine gave out on me in about '73 and the local dealers gave me a PX on a Victor.
• Meguires polish. 9 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Is the search engine ok today? I have been trying to look up the old threads on this product without any luck, a search on car "car polish" returns nothing from the forum. I have been using Auto Glym for years but the last bottle of liquid extra shine is not as good as the previous bottle I had.
• Jalopy 5 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  Does anyone know what happened to Jalopy and Old Car magazine?
• Sports Car - Which One? 27 May 2004 (Forum)
  The car will be used as a second car (old E30 BMW is everyday car) so doesn't have to have Honda reliablity although I don't want it to be a nightmare like Dad's Stag! I would prefer a convertible, I like big engines and English cars if possible.

• MoT renewal sticker 28 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Ive never peeled one off the mot sheet since it went modern and ive very rarely seen one stuck in a windscreen. Im talking the new type not the old ones you wrote on with a ballpoint pen for it to fade in a month. Do you remove the sticker from your mot certificate? 3 year old and less car owners need not apply
• Drivethedeal.Com 22 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  Got some prices from DrivetheDeal.com but how good are they? What worries me is they don't seem to do Part-Ex and I don't want the hassle of having to sell my old car privately, plus the fact I would have to find another £4k to cover the purchase until I sold my old one. Their website has no email address which is a bit worrying.
