Hey thanks

I suppose I could the sell the 19" wheels with runflats and get a set of 18" with non runflats

What's the golf tee mod and is it possible on a 20i?

Mine's an auto so don't think it has stop/start

Yes it’s possible on the 20i, the rear silencer has a vacuum operated valve in the r/h tailpipe, pull the rubber hose off & cap it with a golf tee/suitably sized object and the valve stays permanently open. It’s not deafening but just a subtle difference

Search for “silicon hose end caps 4mm” on EBay they’re about 99p each and you’ll need 2

Soap and water.
Im always amazed how much better cars look when they are clean.

So true ! I think they also seem to drive better after a good valet :lol:

I thought I was the only one who thought this :lol:

Hi,

Those load spreader on the seat belts, tie them back so the seat belt doesn't rub on seat. £3 from Wilko.

Do you mean these Wilko Seat Belt Pads 2 pack

At risk of sounding dim, what do you mean by "tie them back" and how? I'd like to keep the nappa seats from getting grime on them as much as they seem to from direct contact with the seatbelt - I know that it's a losing battle and I've seen the similar posts about using sheepskin belt covers - your suggestion more my price range

Update: Ignore - I've just seen the other recent post on the topic

Cheers!
Andy
