Does anyone use synthetic oil in their car? Does it really work better than

battle going on between AMSOIL and Mobil One. They both claim to be the
best.

How do you get the front mounting pins on the rear subframe out? I've tryed
undoing the pins but they just turn. These are the pins with the flat head
with two holes in them. Is there a special tool readily available, or will I
have to make one, or is there a simple technique?

Well, I got my britax seatbelts but one of them seems to be stuck. It is as

Not sure if I have asked this before.  Does anyone know where to get 60's

and I also replaced the ignition leads, well after almost 60,000
miles we thought it wise and anyway it was missing a bit driving it
in the rain.

I've got a really annoying creak on my '98 Cooper Sport. It's somewhere
on the front suspension at the driver's side.
It doesn't start until the car has been driven a few miles, and how soon
it starts seems to vary according to how long the car has been stood. So

I did an oil and filter change on our open classic at the weekend and since
