Re: Leda Bootlid

That's normal on the Conquest as well. After a few bruises on the back of the head you soon learn to adapt! I believe there is potential for a slight adjustment of the two springs but all mine have the same "design fault".

Re: 250 saloon engine overheating

Personally I would drain the system and start again. Open heater and fill VERY slowly. Start the engine and bring up to temperature with the rad cap off squeezing the hoses to help expel any air. Put cap on before level overflows and then allow to cool. Remove cap, top up again and repeat the warm u...

Re: How to clean up black plastic trim?

My first reaction was "that's nuts" but the results look good and as he says it's much cheaper than the specialist auto products designed to do the same thing, although I can imagine all the local squirrels chasing the car down the road! I wonder what else we can find in the kitchen cupboa...

Who says men don't remember? A couple were Christmas shopping. The shopping centre was packed and as the wife walked around she was surprised to discover that her husband was nowhere to be seen. She was quite upset because they had a lot to do and hence she became so worried that she called him on ...
