Sadly after 5 or was it 6 years of ownership, 'Harvey' has a new keeper. He really wasn't getting the use he deserved and times move on....... Thanks to all on the forum who have shared their knowledge on the forum & guided me how best to look after him. I learnt a huge amount. Hopefully the new...

Re: Stutter from acceleration
It seems that if the engine behaves as you describe, then by definition there IS something wrong .... I suppose what they mean is they couldn't FIND anything wrong. Do you know what they checked and eliminated as a cause? if your garage isn't, Bongo's benefit from attention from Bongo experienced ga...

Re: E10 Fuel

It's not a back-to-black pro...

Re: Quality wiper blades ?
I've used https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk for many years, quite happily. The brand Iguana does the job and lasts very well. Delivery is very good, and you'll get a discount via Topcashback. Certainly worth a try.
