Bodywork & Paintwork / Re: Paint work

Hi, a garage local to me in East Devon. What also you have to think about is humidity if the air is not dry you get a effect called micro blister which causes the paint to bubble after time as moisture is trapped under the new paint.

I know friends that painted there cars they never turned out well. The equipment they had was just not good enough. It also needs a lot of skill. I recently paid £1300 to have half the side of my car painted I am well pleased with the result.

you can check if the thermostat is opening by feeling the radiator hoses. If the bottom hose is not hot the thermostat is not opening.

Engine & Gearbox / Re: 1990 1.6 Driver Petrol Gearbox Replacement/Repair

Hi, if you need the car fixed quickly then let the mechanic fix it otherwise as you are going to have to repair in the long run don't bother. Personally I would have my own gearbox repaired as you end up with a known quantity you don't know what you are getting with a second hand item.
