Rusty Wings

Re: Streetwise wheelarch mouldings

But I’ve taken a pic as suggested by GSi, as below. So hopefully someone know of a source. PS thats one of the unbroken ones, *laughs*. Che...

Re: Head Gasket HELP HELP HELP !!

Hi All Thanx for the replies. Yup i forgot to say its a 1.4 103 bhp in an 05 Streetwise. In terms of the leak.
