shocks should be changed in pairs

as for the brake pipes i have found a set on line of braided stainless steel ones all round for £45 might be worth a look

« on: 31 March 2008, 17:04:56 »

i have two questions

1. is it easy to wire in a set of steering wheel controls if it did not have any before.? will the plug already be there?

Omega General Help / Re: Headlights

« on: 04 December 2007, 21:36:51 »

the problem with the headlights is that are plastic  

i found the best way to restore the headlight is by using a 12,000 grade wet and dry paper which is designed for taking scratches out of glass and perspex

it is hard to find the wet and dry paper
