I managed to flog the Volvo by bonus ball with a multibuy discount. I paid £650 for the car, spend a few hours cleaning it and swapped some part worn tyres onto it. There were a few issues with the car, blowers only worked on the fastest settings and the dial to change the direction of the air was b...

One of the front calipers on the 505 has been sticking so I had a look at trying to free it off and discovered it was slightly broken. I'm surprised the pad hasn't fallen out of that caliper. It can't fall out, there's a bracket on the other side which half of the broken part is attached to and the...
