You can try barrier cream

As above ^^^^ just spotted this new series in the TV listings http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rhvc7

They will. Some don't need to be adapted but my MOT man said they needed to be twisted so they kick up on the nearside. This is achieved by cutting another slot in the front rim so the lights units can be refitted twisted IYSWIM. Rory's Dad

NOT TRUE apple macs can catch viruses, so can Iphones, please get some anti-virus Paul

Support me with the RTC's, near misses and bits if broken car around here? Haha

QRS... Many many many posts here. I've helped two people here get steering wheel, boss and QRS for about £100 Like that! Obviously QRS comes in silver, black, blue or red and is about £30. Boss is dependant on your column but £30-£40. Then wheel is your choice, mine was £35.

If you are a techie then get a PC. I you are not, then get a Mac. It's a generalisation but pretty accurate, Macs steer you away from the technical side of computing (ping on a mac anyone?) I have always run into a brick wall with macs when I want to do something cheap or free that is fairly techie, like pcb design, rc heli flight sims, robotics programming. Things like that. I run into the same brick wall with work related software. You can install windows on a mac but then you have a very expensive pc. On the other hand, macs are perfect for media based work, and general messing about. I'm on my ipad now. I use it as my "laptop" 99% of the time, but I still need my laptop for the above, and for plugging it into things like my car ecu ( USB to serial) etc. Btw an HP printer supporting AirPrint can easily be had for around £40 .

You have to make a distinction between casual "inappropriate touching" and actual proper thievery. Sadly, Westfield's do get nicked occasionally, normally by someone out to nick your Westfield IYSWIM, they might not know quite what it is, but they'll have a good idea they can flog the bits etc. That side of things is a whole long thread in it's own right. And ultimately, if they really want it, they'll get it. On the other hand, "inappropriate touching", you know, the sort of thing where you come back to find someone sat in the car making brumming noises, or kids climbing all over it etc. Up to and including the sort of knob that decides he fancies doing a few donuts in it, or having a quick spin round the block can be put off with a few simple mods. Do not underestimate the power of the tonneau cover, (on an aeroscreened car or even on a windscreened car if the roof is down). As Brian says, it acts as a magical cloak of darkness, though perhaps it says a lot about the British, but that simple piece of vinyl, fixed on with poppers and zipped up down the middle seems to put almost all interlopers off. I've yet to ever see a stranger open a tonneau on someone's car! Add to that, just in case anyone does chance their arm, a removable steering wheel, and to a lesser extent, an FIA cut out key, (though TBH, they're so cheaply available, I wouldn't bother fitting one just for security purposes). I then add a stout motorcycle chain and lock, particularly if I'm away from the car for any length of time; looped through a rear wheel, then the RAC roll bar, stops someone just easing the handbrake off and rolling the car off. I'll also thread it through the steering wheel - which is in the boot box, if carrying the wheel is impractical. (And lastly there's one or two other little security measures I take, but that's not for an open forum!)

Yeah, just use the 'door bars' to give yourself a leg up, then sit on top of the cage then pop your legs through, stand on the base of the seat, and lower yourself in. In a Haynes style, extraction is the opposite of fitment

Cheapest and best deterrents are a quick release steering boss so you can walk away with your steering wheel, and a FIA battery isolator switch. Hard to drive away a car you can't start or steer. A small hidden toggle switch that cuts off power to the fuel pump is good as well. Never (touch wood) had any problems with the car being vandalised.

Ive started using un-powdered latex gloves for the same reason, i used gloves 1 size to small so they are a tight fit. It takes a little getting used to, but better than scrubbing them for ages after working...

Hi Folks, Here are a few pics our our new Westie, taken buy the previous owner. Had hoped to take a few more today, but decided to get my hands dirty and take a look at the brakes! the left one is before the right after.

I decided to swap my flat bottomed steering wheel and QR for some new models So out with the old And in with the new - Brown & Geeson QR with a Momo Team 280mm diameter wheel For the usual suspects - that is a bit LESS blue in the car now
