Re: Which things will kill our cars? Common faults?
Definitely have a look around the rear lamp seals: if you are lucky, tightening up the three small nuts that hold the lamps in place may be all you will need to do. There are a couple of other things to check while you have the trims removed inside the boot: The sunroof drain tubes run down to a ru...

Re: Which things will kill our cars? Common faults?

Re: Which things will kill our cars? Common faults?
It's never the sunroof guttering or drains. Unless the metal undertray has rotted through, but you'd be getting a soaking wet headlining and I don't expect you are. Glass de-bonding is the main cause on the R8 - any water at the front is 99.999% certain to be the windscreen debonding. I'd suggest t...

Re: Sound upgrade for Streetwise plus a little body work
Real wood surrounds... that's true hi-fi :laughing2 Now if you could only fashion the entire front NS and OS doors out of chipboard, add some acoustic wadding and replace the door cards with a hardboard frame covered in acoustically transparent cloth, you'd be a real audiophile... :laughing2 I expe...
