Won’t do any harm to add a tin of forte system cleaner, fill the tank up with Tesco momentum 99 too at the same time. Worth doing now and again.

A good flowing wax designed for cavities will drive it out. I don’t really rate Waxoyl, there are far better products such as Dinitrol and Bilt hamber available. I have seen thicker type coatings used on car sills so it may not be filler on yours.

Recently bought an Exide from Tayna as it was more reasonably priced, I’m sure it will be ok they are a known decent brand.

Usually prime before and after.

He's a ****.

Difficult to blend that yourself, probably better to let a bodyshop paint the entire sill. If your not bothered then just just prep and paint yourself, it can be easier on a sill if you have a definitive line to mask to.

I have some interlocking rigid plastic type tiles I managed to bag from a factory closure. very easy to lay and take trolley jack, axle stand weight with ease. A bit slippery when wet is my only gripe with them, not sure of the brand sorry.

I've always had garage queens and have not done anything but do try to drive it on a nice dry day all year round. You just have to in my opinion, much better for it. Nothing better than roof down on a crisp fine day.

could be anything, check your alternator drive belt isnt shredded though first.

Quite a lot of Vag petrol engines have a drink problem, not great when you get it home and find this out really so be careful. I prefer the common rail diesels but these are not without their problems especially if your not doing the mileage.

Glow plug light flashing is an indication of a management fault too so read the codes first. Normally related to egr system in my experience on Vag cars but could be anything, not normally associated with glow plug failure.

Just Bumping this for you as we are currently arguing with our door installer with a similar problem. He claims all plastic frames move, I claim BS. in my eyes the frame should be securely fixed as you will never be able to final finish the wall.

I'm sorry I forgot to respond to this. The old timber was starting to rot but I'm sure it could have been fixed, we just decided we wanted to fit something and forget. What a mistake that was. We are still at a stalemate with the company, we dont want the product so it will inevitably have to...

Tea from an old teapot always tastes better too, can’t explain why.

It’s amazing what little things make us happy. My grandfather had a coal fire which was lit 24/7 and in the kitchen of an old terraced house which made the butter perfect!

Most of the stats I’ve had or programmed suggest 21 is a comfortable living temperature with it dropping to 16 overnight. With it set at 16 overnight in the few houses I’ve owned it rarely cuts in, I suppose it depends on its location and how well the house holds the heat.

I’d agree, you have probably been lucky they have lasted this long.

Facom, Britool to me feel and last no better than the likes of Draper these days. Quality certainly isn't what it was way back in the 70s and 80s when these tools were seen as the Rolls Royce.

If it is a leak then get it fixed as suggested or you may be in for an expensive time, it may well be too late already though.

No need to drive it hard all the time but increasing the revs now and again isn't a bad thing. Just put a can of forte diesel treatment in it next time a week or two pre test. Oil and filter plus air filter change too and you should be fine.
