I’ve got a Soft Bits for Sevens Draught Reducer for a S3 car with standard seats for sale. It’s in excellent condition and has had minimal use. £90 plus £7 postage or can collect in the Peak District.

I really like my Wera Tool Check Plus. It's pretty compact and beautifully engineered, you just have to shop around as the price seems to vary a lot. https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/multi-tools/wera-39-piece-tool-check-plus-multi-tool/p/519484 Andy

They do work but.... there is always a but, the rated Ah for them are given at the voltage for the battery inside the unit and importantly this is NOT 12v. So when they say it’s 10Ah that is not 1 amp for 10 hours at 12v it’s probably 1 amp for 10 hours at 3.6v which is very different. Having said that, they do work and are very small, most have a light on them and you can charge your phone 3-4-5 times. They have inverter circuits that can change the output voltage to suit whatever is required such as 12v for the jump start facility, 5v for the usb, plus various other voltages for the dc out port for laptops etc. If you want a true rating of its power you need to look at its watt hr rating.

Take it in the house and prop it up by a hot radiator for a few hours.

I've used these to secure into ali sheet, they soak up vibration very well too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M3-M4-M5-M6-M8-M10-M12-RUBBER-RUB-NUT-WELL-NUT-THREADED-BRASS-INSERT-RIVET-NUT-/201499994097 Andy

I'd really consider using ear plugs in both ears. It might not seem loud but it is. Audiofit do a range of custom plugs with a club discount. Andy

Route Napoleon, Grenoble, Gap fantastic area with great roads. Be careful though there are starting to be average speed cameras like this one at Aspremont. They also filmed the car chase scenes for Ronin on the roads above Gréolières above Niece. Drive it like you stole it! Andy

A few of my work colleagues and myself are planning to drive down to Le Mans (15-16 June) but not having done it before wondered if anyone could give some advice on camp site choices. Also would be open for any other advice or tips on what to do, or not do. We can get heavily discounted ferry tickets through work so wondered if it's possible to buy tickets direct from the ACO or do we have to go through a travel company? Cheers Andy

The photo is the rear anti roll bar which adjusts the er, roll of the car when it goes around a corner. Adjustable spring platforms adjust spring preload which can be used amongst other things to balance the car and driver and fuel etc. This needs to be done by someone who knows what they are doing though. I’d recommend getting someone to sett the steering geometry (castor, camber, toe), corner weights and ARB all in one go to suit your use of the car and so you know where everything is set and to get the best out of your car. Boot floor - no idea, sorry. Cheers Andy

Is there anyone booked that probably won’t be able to make it? There are a couple of people on the reserve list and it would great if we could get a bit of advance notice to allow us to travel down in time to squeeze onto the Snetterton evening the night before. Thanks Andy

Hi Ian, I'll have it off you if it's in good condition - any issues with it? Andy

My first 7 had the handbrake under the passenger dash, out of reach with a harness on. My current one does get used but probably doesn't actually do much. It's not like we do many handbrake turns like in our first car as a teenager. Andy

Do you think I could book that depending on if I get onto Hethel the next day. It's not worth traveling down just for the evening at Snetterton if I'm not on the Hethel day. Andy

I emailed Paul Golding at LoT who said it was full but he'd add me to the reserve list, so there is one - and I'm on it. I guess I need to be ready for a mad dash at the last minute, just in case. Andy

Fully booked now.
