General Car Chat / A/C
« on: 08 May 2016, 10:28:15 »
Reading another post i got the conclusion that air con
should be on all the time in winter and summer
And it saves you fuel ? How's that ? I thought air con put your fuel consumption
up
Wondering how many of you have your your a/c on all the time ?

General Car Chat / What's longer ?
« on: 02 May 2016, 15:37:00 »
Which if any is the longer , the omega p/f estate or the f/l estate Would like to know the length of the P/f more than anything because of garage size 
Or to put it another way , how much longer is the estate over the saloon .

General Car Chat / Rover 75
« on: 21 April 2016, 06:27:21 »
Ive seen plenty of rover 75's for sale but i know the petrol ones suffer from head gasket failure , upgraded head gasket seems to fix them . But the diesel 75 tourer looks a better option providing there are no hidden long term problems with them Anyone owned one or know of any problems to look out for and take it they dont suffer the HG trouble

Got a leaking mixer tap in the kitchen , the water leaks onto the work surface and has been doing so for a few years but only in certain positions . How do i fix it , does it need to be totally disassembled or can it be done by just taking the top off

General Car Chat / Rear end
« on: 13 March 2016, 14:13:25 »
No not smashed 
Seen some rust on the rear ends of the outer sills so why is this happening ? Is there water being trapped inside the sills and is there a vent hole that could be blocked Could take the end caps off for a while why its dry weather . Anyone else had/got this problem
