I can repeat this tapping exercise ad infinitum but always...

    Aldi cheap car polisher

    Good spot and whilst it will be branded something or another it will be from a mainstream supplier. I wouldn't mind betting that will be a good buy. Also noticed they are doing their battery maintainer which I know for a fact is a good bit of kit but I also know the Ctek brigade couldn't...

    Trickle charging

    Inside the engine bay there are two points to connect a charger. One (the negative) is on the near side spring turret and looks like a nut unconnected to anything. The other is just in front of the bulkhead and will likely be concealed by a plastic cover. Simply connect your trickle charger of...

Quite fascinating to join the Jaguar XE forum and pick up on the very distinct similarities between this forum and the Jag.

    Bad Parking

    Looks good to me on all accounts. BMW well over to the left and Merc taking up only one space. Of course there will be the twat parking enforcer who will plant a ticket cos "your not parked within the lines".

    Useful explanation for some?

    Stumbled on this graphic representation of a 4 stroke engine and how it works. Thought it might be of interest to those for whom it is a mystery. http://animagraffs.com/how-a-car-engine-works/

    Newbie with a serious tuning disorder.

    Gloss black rims it is....PIC added!

    You've got one of the best loooking roadsters going and I'd think black would detract. Leave them the same colour would be my vote.

    Will these fit?

    Genuine BMW E46 M3 18" Staggered Alloys Been interested in this style of wheel and wondering if they will fit a 2008 Z4. The Ebay "selectors" would suggest they don't but I'm sure I've seen other members with these on their cars. Appreciate any observation anyone can make.
