I got a call my wheels were ready today. I took them to the tyre fitter & the previous manager has left who fitted tyres to my last refurbs & they have a new policy (official or ad hoc, I don't know) - as the wheels have just been refurbed, any marks from the fitting of the tyres or (more likely) the balancing process will be at my risk. If I leave it 2 weeks they will accept responsibility for any damage.
So they will be given a few coats of Collinite while I wait.

I'm very please with the powder-coat finish - same as on my refurbed Audi wheels I use for my winters, but the Proteus wheels look better. I'll not miss the original polished finish!

Had my summer wheels on for a few weeks now. So glad I got the Proteus wheels refurbished & got rid of the polished look.

In Topic: Should I clean the engine bay?

28 April 2013 - 15:06

I do high mileage & I clean mine every time I wash the car, rarely less than once a week. I make sure I hoick dead leaves out the wings in Autumn. First car I've done it on - I guess cos I like it so much. Takes 10 mins. I don't jet wash as it's never that bad but clean what I can reach & do the underside of the bonnet. I dress the plastics several times a year. I'm sure it's not necessary but makes me feel better & having a chavy private plate I get some satisfaction when mechanics think the car is a lot newer than it is. Sad.

Have you tried going into the sound settings? You can mute the normal output & headphone outputs separately.

Just bought some coolant from Horton's via ebay. Received with an unexpected freebie litre of Skoda Wash & Wax Shampoo RRP £5

Pleasant surprise!

I couldn't believe I had to install itunes to put music on our lads ipod. Fortunately I have XP running on a virtual machine on my Ubuntu/Linux but not happy I can't just drag & drop. Looks like I have to have a bloody iphone through work soon too! Make Microsoft look like saints.
