HPI doesn't check mileage.... doesn't even say it will! It only checks to see whether there has been an insurance write off (not claim) on the car, plate change details, stolen, import status and whether there's any finance. Most dealers will use the VMC or similar, who check back through mot...

Had a techie come out for a drive the other day.... it's booked in for the rear diff/Haldex to be looked at! I'd get yours checked if it's still under warranty.

Robbie's work is always top notch....

Cars often arrive from factory swirled - have a search of L200 Steve's Hi-Lux thread on DW. Even if the bits under the film isn't swirled (or hologrammed), not all of the car will be covered. Dealers don't get the time to properly prep cars to "our" standards, but to be fait 99%+ of people don't...

Meg's #83 will give reasonable correction with a cutting pad (on VAG paint) if you can get it to work long enough - it's more consistant in the cold/damp than Menz polishes, probably because the Menz are designed to be used in more controlled atmospheres. When I get round to doing the car...

Picked up earlier in the year, still haven't had time to do it properly! A pearost from the welcome bit, but thought some might like to see. The Golf had to go..... sitting sadly at the dealership.... The Audi sitting in the compound... I was allowed by...

I love Zaino's products, but over a wax I prefer Sonus Carnauba Spritz to Z8 - half the price too!

Blimey, I managed with two kids with a MK4 Golf GTi...... the A3 SB's boots not really any bigger but we still go away camping with it - use a roofbox for the overspill. Funny thing is that people used to get 4 kids and enough stuff for 2 weeks away in the back of an allegro - we just carry a...

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's done it from new, it's just I noticed it on a motorway trip (don't do many!) and it's bugging me now - especially as the warranty's up soon lol.

Hi I get an odd rumble from my 57 plate (ie just in warranty!) A3 Quattro, it sounds a bit like touching the rumble strips at the side of the road and last about quarter of a second. It doesn't do it whilst stationary, or when accelerating under load, just when you back off the throttle or...

Hi Like most, just joined to get some info! Here's a few pics from the takingcarcleaningabittooseriously website that I'm proud to be a member of lol! Dave
