Thanks to Lewis for providing me the grill to test paint.

Getting fed up with the plastidip it marks far to easily.





Thinking of going this colour on the top panel and the fog surrounds too.

Hi,

I am thinking about sound proofing my car as I do a lot of motorway driving and find the road noise quite bad.

Basically the plan is to get http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Coat-Soun...d+proofing and stick it inside the doors and boot.

Has anyone done this? Are there any better ways to reduce road noise?

Matt

Ok so when I turn the car on I get like a clicking chunking sound from behind the dash.

I thought it was due to having the heating on auto so I turned off the auto but noise still there I will try and get a sound clip.

Never used to do it.

So whenever I drive for anything over 100m with lights on or off when I turn engine off or if the stop/start kicks I get an error message come up on the dash.

Service AFL Lamp and the orange AFL lamp stays lit.



Once I restart the car the problem goes away.

Saturday I had my MDI so when the error came up and was still displayed I plugged it on and there was no fault codes at all.

It's really bugging me now as I would like to know why it keeps coming up after long drive (never comes up for any trip under 100m).

I can't find anything on TIS about it.

Hi folks,

I'm new here, so I apologise in advance if this question is in the wrong section!

I currently drive a '61 plate J Sports Tourer, of which I'm in the process of looking in to changing a few things with it. The biggest altercation I want to do is with the centre console - it has no arm rest! I've been on eBay and have seen you can purchase a retrofitted arm rest, however I must admit they aren't great.
I've been looking around the internet as well as speaking to a few people and I have yet to come across a J manual handbrake with an armrest. The breakers on eBay are selling centre consoles with the armrest, only they aren't for the manuals.

I would appreciate any input on this cheers!
