Had to do an emergency stop last night. Been driving for too long and momentarily lost concentration! Fortunately, Brembos brought me to a halt in good time. When I stopped the hazards came on, at least the indicators in the car suggested they did, for a couple of seconds. Anyone else had...

Forgot to put this back in the boot when I sold the car I'd owned from new many years ago. Mint condition - so if you have one of the very first UK gtvs with a manky or missing tool kit, this is treasure! No reserve... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302798715830

Got to the bottom of why my lock does not work, the barrel itself is perfect but the housing is seized solid where it rotates to operate the mechanism on the latch. Anyone got a spare lock housing and the half moon clamp that secures it to the handle they would be willing to sell?

Hi folks, I'm in a real pickle. Currently on holidays in Spain. I've managed to lock the key in my 159 Sportwagon. I used the "boot only" button on the key fob to get something out of the boot. I think I accidentally left the key in the groove between the car frame & the boot. Then I closed...
