I always find the quick connectors on my compressed air line leak a fair
amount of air. I can never get a seal that doesn't hiss. I've tried a few
different makes from cheap to PCL. Not a massive problem, but compressor

What's the likely damage / recovery strategy if a petrol car is filled
with a tankful of bio-ethanol?   (Morrison's finest E-85, which is AFAIK
85% plant-derived ethanol, 15% petrol).
AIUI, the octane is somwehere around 5-star levels, but the calorific

Is it to do with fuel injection? What is the science behind the changes?

Shite? The ones on my 406 certainly seem to be a bit teflon, particularly
under hard braking.

The bottom drivers side corner of my windscreen rubber is leaking. Anyone

not setting sealant (IDL99), but it is a 'orrible grey colour and will look
terrible if I smear a line of that into the corner of my ...

At what sort of speed collision is an airbag supposed to deploy. My
wife had a decent size shunt yesterday, hit her chest on the sterring
wheel etc, wrecked the front end, but the airbag didnt go off.

A pal in the US wants a towbar for his E39 tourer. And they simply aren't
available in the US (he says) as BMW there doesn't recommend towing with
one.
I've agreed to send one to him - but what would be the cheapest option

After driving through some pretty heavy rain yesterday when I came to
arm my alarm it did arm but the siren was almost silent. So I set the
alarm off and its almost silent but still audible but very very quiet.
The place I had it fitted is no longer open to ask for help. So before ...

Renault Megane 2.0 8v 1998.  Did a service and also took the battery out to

the battery off till next morning but now car won't start and the key fob
won't operate the central locking and the immobiliser ...

I notice GSF are sending out stuff post free for the whole of 2008. Even low
value items. Good move I'd say. I've already spent about £120 with them

I dont believe I did this.
Bit of a scrap on the door, as well as small dent. Any idea how much
