Seen this, asked £60 for the wheels but wouldn't reply when I asked the size of them. They style I want but they could be 16 or 18, I want 18

Don’t worry the P2 is still about, my old boy now drives it
i had one of them too in the same colour, the T5 R-Design Edition. Great car and loved it. Just thirsty though.

That’s what this is, went for the Edition as I wanted the H/K speakers. Coming back wasn’t too bad to be honest, I averaged 51mpg (long term reset) from Norwich to Ballymoney over 2 days.
I’m only doing short journeys now so having a diesel as a daily didn’t make sense any more.

Volvo V50 2.0d SE Sport R-Design
Well the BMW needed work for MOT and i was sick of pouring money into it (for sale if anyone wants an e90 318d with no MOT - just needs rear bearing and control arms) so i went and bought this Volvo V50. I always fancied one of these and the BM forced my hand to move over to Volvo, which i am...

Used my map gas burner today and restored the front bumper, very please with the result and its taken years off the car in my opinion..
I done that on my old T4 and it made a huge difference, but unfortunately a few weeks later just went back light gray that it used to be
I got stuff from Procar called Black Wow (After Pete at PMG recommended it) and it does a great job

G-Techniq C4 really works in the long run. There is a "knack" to applying it (basically use a lot less than you think, and wipe off all excess).
The heating, or spraying with oil, and all that. It doesn't seem to last, and worst case makes the plastic brittle. Same with the basic silicon dressings, they look great when fresh but fade quickly.
At the end of the day, old plastic is old plastic. Only so much you can do, short of painting them.

Seen this suggested a couple of times but damn it's pricy lol
I can't remember what I paid for it, but I bought 2 at the time so couldn't have been too bad. It is a small bottle though, but a little goes a very long way with it
Out of curiosity, what's the going rate at the minute @Davey@Procar?

Not as clean as it was as I've done about 150 miles of running around since it's been washed and serviced. Now in Dublin tin tenting.
Interestingly, the ol tin tent isn't bad for wild camping, as we found out last night when the electric hook up wouldn't work
Faulty socket, so will get that fixed today!

All fixed, nice and cozy and happy inside, 6⁰c outside
