I need some opinions, please. My Mk IV has recently developed an annoying habit. Occasionaly (& I stress the occasionaly part), it seems to lock into 3rd gear. After a bit of lever wiggling, it then

You might try using three rubber washers (like, from a garden hose) & let the bottle sit on those. It shouldn't raise the bottle much, but will still allow some air to circulate. Andy H.

I've found that the zippered window is handy on those hot days of summer when there is a light mist or such in the air. Also, if I'm going to the office & it is supposed to rain that day, I can still

Just a thought...another option might be to use electrostatic painting, with a clear coat applied over the top coat. This method has always seemed to give a very even, smooth finish to anything that

Just from personal experience, the Fiat 131 I owned from new in the late 70's was great! The only problem that I encountered was due to dealer error(s). Very comfortable, quick, & happily carried me

It's 5 degrees F, with a wind-chill of somewhere well below 0, with another 4" to 6" of snow on the way. Well, if doesn't kill you, it only makes you stronger! Cheers Andy H. 71 MkIV, comfortably asl

Since my "ex" moved there, I can't imagine any plausible reason as to why I would want to be there anyway. Happily driving & not using my wipers very much, Andy H.

Hi Dave, I just redid the panels on my '71. If the panels haven't totally disintegrated, but are basically bent, etc., trace them on a thin piece of masonite or paneling of some sort. I used 1/8" pan

My concern would be that it is missing six mounting bolts. If it's like mine ('71 MkIV), that's all of the bolts to attach it. Just a thought. Andy H.

Hi all, Okay, after lurking about & observing the demister discussion, I have to jump in. Several (well, ok. 7 or 8) years ago, I did install one. Very straight forward stuff. The trickiest part was

Just a thought, but you might try Soft Scrub. It's a cleaner used to clean sinks, etc. I've used it to clean leather & have had no problems. Just be gentle with it, & rinse well, of course. Andy H. 7
