• Short term european breakdown cover 20 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  We are taking our car (1995 W124 Mercedes E class diesel) over to France for a couple of weeks this year on holiday. The car itself is in good condition, well maintained and will be serviced before we go. However it is of course highly advisable to take out breakdown cover and I would welcome any advice on who might provide the cover we need.

• Classic car fitted seat covers 19 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  My triumph has vinyl seats and in the warm weather they burn your bum and make you sweat buckets so I was thinking about getting fitted covers to put over them. Suede style or thick cotton stuff (preferably not going to shrink in a down pour if I accidentally leave the roof down). Anyone know any suppliers? I have looked at a few of the car sites that do seat covers and most of them seem to be the nasty nylon ones to put under mechanics' rear ends rather than day to day ones.

• 97 P11 Primera cowl cover 26 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, I was changing wiper pivots on the car and I wonder if the cowl cover has to be sealed really tight to the windshiled (the windshield side of the cover). When I was taking it off the plastic lip that runs along the cover didn't seem to have any traces of sealant (or may be it dried up over time).

• Mk3 Mondeo Steering - bulkhead cover 19 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Just noticed on my post 05 makeover Mk 3 1.8LX Mondeo that where the steering column goes into the bulkhead under the dash there is no black rubber cover often seen in other cars. It goes into a white plastic outer cover (which is engine side). The white cover protects it from any water etc. If anyone has a similar model can you confirm if there should be a black rubber cover over the steering column?

• Permabag - Car cover - Anyone used one ? 11 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  Cannisters of dessicant can be regenerated by baking in your cookers oven. Seems to have the advantage that as it competely encapsulates the car, even from underneah, and its completely waterproof ( and so has the dessicant) that fit isnt such a problem - bad fits seems to leave puddles on covers thateventually leak through to the car underneath.
