Obviously early days at the moment but fingers crossed! Not all 480's of course but would be nice to b...

Yes, we used them for my sons land rover's cross member which was rusty. I have to say it looks like new now! There products seem great and they were very helpful. Recommended.

Al had the dashcam filming all day, but he was so worried about my turbo, he totally forgot to take the SD card out at Cove Bay - all we have left is the journey home :angry:
Oh that is a shame, but understandable.

Re: 11th August Scotland Mobile Mini Meet

We had an absolute blast this weekend at the scottish meet. Travelled up friday and stopped over in the lakes then travelled on up to the third meet point through the morning. Considering the epic miles (from Bucks/Bicester) my 480 did amazingly well, and never missed a beat. Was amazing to see Fras...

Re: Oily recirc valve

Yeh, makes sense thanks. It's just when my friend said they could smell burning oil it's got me worried and I'd like to find out what that is.
