    The guy went through a list of quite a few different 6's but couldn't get the $WD one! I'll be contacting Mazda about this soon :)

    Where would I get the seal that runs around the doors in a 01 Saab 9-5. There is a bit of a whistle coming in the passenger side and the drivers side looks a bit perished.
    Anyone ever replaced one? It looks simple when Ed China does it :D

    If they aren't totally perished, you can get stuff to replenish the rubber. I have these pads that rejuvenate wiper blade rubber so I presume they would work on all rubber.

    Thanks MM. They are pretty perished. The drivers side has a couple of small holes frayed. I don't mind doing it if I can get the seals cheap enough. I presume you buy a length of it.

    No, I think you buy them ready made for the car. From what I can see, they're a pretty easy install. Just go slow removing the old ones and watch what you're doing to see if there's clips or anything like that.

    They shouldn't be too costly either.

    Yeah, it certainly looks easy. Finding them could well be the hard bit.

    infairness, bar two tiny dinges the rest of the car is mint, and she's made mind it servicing wise so the wheels are of little concern. They still clean up well.

    Also, the sheer amount of polish and waxes, clay bars, cleaners etc. etc. etc. that i have hidden away in the shed from previous cars is beyond me!

    My Petes 50/50 wax seems to have dried up. i softened out a bit and threw a bit on my rear quarter, such a nice wax with an unreal smell.

    Anyone know of any ways to "undry" it?

    A Volvo C30 or S40 D5 would be the closest relation I suppose. Very rare on these sures. I'd imagine there would be a better choice across the pond.

    One of t other drivers just reversed into my car while parking .... I was walking out of the shop as it was happening. She was ****ing it.

    Hopefully I can get the repairs done through Domineos rather than her personal insurance as we all have third party but I would be the third party in this case.

    Hmmm.....
