Can anyone help me out? My wife insists that some cars if not all cars used
to come with only one wing mirror as standard but she's unsure exactly which
side.
I really can't remember this although I'm sure if it was a fact that i

Can anybody explain the logic of the angle plate method of doing cylinder
head bolts instead of torque wrench? Surely tightening by a given angle
must translate to a specific torque figure?
My question is a bit academic now as I've just used the angle plate method

I'm thinking of making my own pressure bleeder to run off my compressor, or
adapting an easibleed, as the pro type kit is expensive for what it is, IMO.
All I can see that is needed is a master cylinder cap that seals well, a
pressure vessel of some kind with air pressure ...

I've got a stirrup type pump with a gauge and a gauge I was given on a

I've got a spark plug that appears to be seized into the head of my Golf
(MK2, 8V GTI, PB engine). The other 3 came out quite happily with an 8 inch
bar using a surface drive socket. I'm loathe to apply a lot of force for
fear of it shearing off in the head, but the plugs do need ...

I've just fitted the towbar and now I'm about to fit the electrics. I know
how to wire it up, but every car I've fitted before has always had a grommet
in the back to remove to allow the wire through.
