Booked it in for tomorrows auction, im sort of excited

Any tips or tricks? Going to get some of that special oil to make the slight tapping noise disappear, full t-cut & wax & a good old clean of the interior. New air freshener too for good luck

Any other ideas? Or tips?

hang around it while people are poking around it, so people dont do what my mates dad did when he bought his 106

pulled a lead off, pulled loads of bits off inside and stuck them under the boot carpet let some water out of it so it ran hot as well

Came through the auction misfireing running hot and the interior looked shit

It sort of thickens the oil, stops it tapping but is worse in the long run as its more abraisive

Just inbetween putting coats of laquer on a semi smooth boot i found in the garage. Might actually end up looking half decent

Solves the problem of the boot lock being fooked & the big hole in the boot near the wiper
