    Moving from Sonos

    The Sonos play 5 is a very nice speaker for a larger room, I had one but recently inherited a second so set them up as a stereo pair and they sound awesome. I only use spotify and its ample for me.

    Clio fuel pipe repair?

    Maybe a piece of decent quality rubber fuel hose with the correct clips, 8mm inside diameter would be a good tight fit on it and although its plastic it should be ok. Not sure how the Mot man would be with it though.

    SGS trolley Jack

    I have 2 of their jacks and touch wood have not experienced any issues in 5 years, personally i would look elsewhere though from what i have read online about them.

    Is revealing a cars service history a security risk.

    A lot of dealers these days do hold it electronically but i think you have to be the car owner to get it. Buying cars these days is very hard work.

    CENTRAL LOCKING

    Wires can start to break in the door wiring loom that runs from car to door near the hinge area, worth having a look here first.

    Caliper mounting thread repair advice

    Im of the opinion that when its brakes involved then replace the carrier. I have had very little experience with inserts but have heard timeserts are the ones to go for for strength.

    Passenger seat MAT Sensor emulator.. easy to install ?

    The seller will always cover themselves by saying its for test purposes only, these things normally just plug in instead of the occupancy mat and give the system the resistance it needs to see. I have not looked at the listing but i would guess its telling the car the seat is occupied at all...

    Mysterious leak from plastic fuel tank.

    I think I would have a go at sealing that myself with something like JB weld but make sure its fuel resistant. Obviously empty tank and cleaned up as best as possible first.

    Alloys Scuff Repair

    Depends what you call a scuff, I would just live with it personally. A wheel refurb as suggested is normally needed. You can get polishing heads and compound obviously but most of the time the scuffs are too deep to do anything with.

    Selling a car that's been in storage for a year

    Only thing you can do is get a quote for repair, Its a very popular car so It is worth doing. Failing that advertise it warts and all on ebay specifying all known faults but that its a bit of an unknown and see where the auction goes. If it started, drove and ran you would be in a much better...

    Hyundai i20 ABS light on

    The code would be handy to know, some will say abs sensor followed by mechanical problem which means its not seeing the pick up ring so it is possible to assume its the sensor when it isnt. Needs better diagnosing, you can get apps these days which are pretty good but you would need the...

    Best car history checker?

    vcheck was £6.00 i think, not sure about car vertical. If you have a look at a you tube channel called high peak autos he regularly has money off deals for car vertical as they sponsor his channel.

    Best car history checker?

    I use vcheck, it saved me a few months back when it flagged a write off. I was a bit too trusting of the seller and it was a car that came up via an owners club (Porsche Cayman). The good thing is that it shows photos of the vehicle damage too. Car vertical is another i have used, they are very...
