    Alko brake shoes

    Don’t doubt it helps, I was a vehicle technician and lost count of how many discs and pads I’ve deglazed, I find that not making my tow ball shiny I don’t get the dreaded hitch creak

    Alko brake shoes

    Strange, to assist in reducing brake squeal by de glazing the friction linings, people purposely clean and glaze tow balls to prevent exactly the same noise….same principles at work

    Found some faults on my car Electric mirrors , petrol tank gauge, low battery light .

    The fault codes should be read first using an appropriate code reader, but if under warranty let the dealer worry about it. My Ford Kuga was throwing up all sorts of errors on the dash, battery was goosed, new one fixed everything

    Jaguar F Pace

    I have just got the FPace prestige 2018 2.0d manual and it feels like it could pull a house down, yet to tow with it but it handles fantastically for a tall car, can’t fault the chassis. Service intervals are 2 years 21k miles.

    Observations from my 2020 "Staycation"

    Drop down TV bracket operation

    Hi, wonder if anyone can help, caravan is a Sterling Eccles Ruby 90 and has a pull down TV bracket. It pulls down so far but seems to hit stops not revealing the tv mount, I just can’t see how it releases further to get it down low enough and nothing in the manual?
