Those US pro brands are alright, I've got a set of impact sockets and they've stood up to my cack-handedness well.

I've had good experience of them too. Their older stuff is marked purely Bergen and worth buying if you can get it cheap.

Our 2015 Civic went in for an MOT yesterday. Naturally passed. No photo as a modern Civic estate isn't particularly interesting.

However there was this 12 plate 1-series on the road. How does a tailgate even get rusty like this?

Left headlight was completely full of condensation inside. Image

Well it is 10 years old now! Probably salt-laden road spray being wiped from the rear glass has sat around the spindle and leeched under the paintwork unseen....The very beginnings of that were probably ignored, too.

I generally make a similar observation whenever Copart are doing their collections around town....

Picked up a Corsa this morning for an oil leak. I thought the white mess on the floor was where it had leaked on his drive. Turns out it only started leaking after he went through a flood. The driveshaft oil seal was damaged when it had a driveshaft fitted by his mate. Water must of got in and I had to take the sump off the bottom of the gearbox to get this shit out.

Me and the two kids got soaked on the school run this morning as water was pissing in through the interior light.
Silicone to the rescue!
