BlackBosh Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Used it on my friends supra i did one in circular motion and it came up brilliant. He did it in straight lines and they etched in lol. Another thing is you'll find the dulling has come from the inside of the lens so its a split job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 can't say i have but have read somewhere that toothpaste works well for cleaning headlight lenses but never tried it myself so can't really verify Yep tried and tested. It's mint ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitman Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 did again a power steering fluid change after some driving and it was more clean then before. also the power steering pump was not making noise when turning the wheel. but might do it one more time after some more driving to get all the drab out.

Dogconker Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not sure how relevant but toothpaste is used for polishing light scratches out of plastics in model making. I used to do replicas of peoples cars. Sorry, but I don't do those any more, before you all ask for replicas of yours.

Dogconker Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Sure we cant persuade you? Sorry fellas, just too time consuming and too costly, not many people were willing to cough up the cash.

james26 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 thought i would put up a few pictures of my Forester S turbo & ask another question about dump valves lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 why not come along, it's only £5 if you show your car or £10 for anyone not showing their car Might be a bit too soon for me this one with waiting for this money. Solicitors have said will be the end of the month then getting it repaired it's a bit sketchy on the timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 For those of you that saw my last post i made it back to camp, 360 miles on the tank though according to the fuel gauge im in debt to the car as its sat below empty lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Nice one mate least you made it back be a morning jog with your rucksack on to the local petrol station with a jerry can in the back then ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's annoying that people are getting great miles out of their tank lol. Think I need to find my misfire this week, how do you check if a coilpack is dodgy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Bosh, did your fuel light come on ? I'm not entirely sure how much is in the bottom half of the tank after it hits min. My light has never been on (unless it's broken) put twenty five liters in this morning and it took it well past half full. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Gaulson, I think one of the easiest ways normally is to pull the plug and crank engine. Earth to top of crank case See if theres a spark. Obvioulsy have a spare good plug so you can change it to eliminate weak spark plugs. This should show you if it's the plug or coil. Need insulated pliers too. Best google it as I'm sure I've missed a step or saftey point ao don't want you to electrocute yourself. Could always take the individual coils odf the pack and vlean them with contact cleaner see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Light was on for about the last 30/40 miles, my light comes on when the needle touches the empty mark, I will let you know how much it takes to fill it as I know the tanks 60 litres, wonder how much fits up the pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4758nigel Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 my light also doesn't come on and i'm below the "E" an awful lot lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
