A flash wax or spray wax is never going to deliver the same amount or quality of wax as a more solid compound but it's so much easier to use. You pay you money and take what you get. I have tried most products and there is one that is clearly superior to the others - and cheaper per wax than...

Not particularly good as you can individually buy the products you actually want - such as the cleaner and polish - or you can buy a starter set for $365 here - http://www.swissvax.com.au/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=swissvax&Product_Code=SE1215010&Category_Code=COLLECTIONS-AND-KITS...

I think you will be very happy! And now we will need to call you Sir Geoff! :eek: Regards, Brian

Obviously this does not apply to a W116 and similar with rubber mounted screens - but do have a look at this training video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcJTtMBqoqY What a complex process and how easy it would be to get the screen done incorrectly. Although it is not a difficult process, it...

That is part of the issue Tim - but the main cause of the cost is that the dash has to be dis-assembled, the headlining and A pillar trims removed before replacing the screen and then it all has to go back together. It is not a job for the inexperienced so that rules out most windscreen...

That seems reasonable Tim. It's also cheaper and more effective than having your windscreen professionally polished - and you get a better result. Regards, Brian

Tim, it is not a complex job in a 300SE so probably any well-known name will be OK. The quote for a new front screen on the Spirit is $5000+ so count your lucky stars that you are not looking at that kind of figure. Regards, Brian

Styria, the last time we spoke in person your 6.9 was sitting under a pile of doona covers in the garage awaiting a re-build to the rear end. Any progress or will this be you 2014 project? Regards, Brian

Probably not for the Maxxis crowd as a variety of sizes is already available here; more for those looking for an odd size or a European brand. Longstone Tyres of the UK have been appointed official distributors for a range of companies in Australia and NZ - http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/ In...

I was asked today which tyre I had intended to put on the 450. Just for the public record it was the Maxxis MA-P1 205/70/14 - H rated. $110 fitted with new valve stems etc. http://www.maxxistyres.com.au/tyredetails.php?id=4&cat=1 Regards, Brian

Becker Grand Prix for sale. Radio + single slot CD. About 5 years old. Not compatible with IPhone 5. Replaced by an Alpine for phone compatibility. The quality of the sound from the Becker is superior but they are no longer made and upgrades to IPhone 5 are not available. Suitable for a...

Anyone driving down Parramatta Road past the old Damelian showroom would have noticed that the area is stocked with a hundred or so new MGs and that the showroom now bears the octagonal MG logo. It seems that the importer has not yet received homologation with ADRs and so there are no compliance...

Well there are several: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLyIva2F5yk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6V3VdUS33Q And a Spirit II - but without the extra wood panelling that mine has - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ66NHbtpTc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBiaJXDH9CA Regards, Brian

I had the opportunity for an extended drive of a Rover P5 3500 at the RROCA Drive and Be Driven Day and it was a nice vehicle to drive. Reasonably powerful, smooth, comfortable and handled well. In short, a most attractive vehicle and perhaps a little more refined than the Benz products of the...

The two cars I had for the weekend. One was fun to drive - the other guaranteed a parking spot! Yes, I have obscured the number plate on the Audi to protect the guilty. Regards, Brian

When I was young(er) and lived in the country way out west, we had neighbours on one side who owned a Bentley MKVI + a Jowett Javelin + a Jaguar MkVII + a Jaguar 420G. I thought they were the most amazing cars I had ever seen. Only problem is, all their cars were black. On the other side we had...
