I seem to have hidden my spare Focus key ( with a blue dot ) rather
too well so I can't programme

As cat. converters as so expensive items, I just wondered if there is

Is a wire brush the best tool for cleaning the hub up after getting old disc

got a Passat with heated electric wing mirrors.  I`ve managed to snap the
top off the little joystick that controls the mirrors, and am looking for a

'intermittent' position, they started wiping at normal speed.
They wouldn't stop, wiping at normal speed in all positions except in double
speed position, they ran at double speed.

Wise folks,
I have finally ended up owning a car with (in my view) too many

strictly speaking).
