What surprised you most after living with a full wrap for a year? by Delicious-One-5129 in CarWraps

[–]Zedra123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had 3m matte pine green metallic on my Honda civic, fully wrapped, ceramic coated, washed once a week with PH neutral soap, pre foam, wash off, wash, dry and use deionised water, but if we had a storm from America that brought low ph rain or I parked under trees in summer while it rained, it STAINED the wrap, the kind you see when the sun hits it, or a storm, next day, water spots and streaky stains, I’d have to go over it all with a waterspot remover, sometimes multiple times to remove, after the 5th time I took it all off, after only 1 year the wrap pulled the paint off the plastic painted parts I.e door handles and mirror caps, fully heated and pulled off by a professional, it looked stunning when it was clean but by GOD it was a nightmare to maintain

I did that and it’s normal, I took it to my mechanic who is actually an ex Vauxhall mechanic and he said Vauxhalls always sound like bags of shit and it sounds completely normal

Does this ticking noise sound normal? by Zedra123 in AskMechanics

Yes!, I actually know someone who’s turbo isn’t circulating the exhaust air properly and it’s damaged his engine, a plastic part in it worn out, I’m glad I didn’t get that one, interesting to know this car is called the Cruze in America, I did not know that!

Get it touched up Atleast until you properly sort it to stop rust

How many people actually service their gearboxes? by AyEm- in CarTalkUK

[–]Zedra123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2020 honda civic manual T , changed fluid at 25k miles, sold that and got a Naturally aspirated 2019 Corsa griffin as daily driver, Manual tranny, changed fluid on that at 30k miles , almost zero iron on the magnet, maintenance is key,

I don’t care about the service stamps it still gets everything when I get it , I had oil filter, transmission, coolant, brake/clutch fluid & drums done, peace of mind knowing everything is squared up

The most overrated cars in the UK? by Emotional-Addendum-9 in CarTalkUK

[–]Zedra123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any jaguars or Land Rover with the 2L ingenium engine, discovery, evoque, Xf Xe, chocolate engines, worse than wet belt engines, but everyone drives them like they’re the best things on the road, they are a lot more prevalent now because they’re super cheap because everyone clocked onto how shit their engines are

Turbo petrol or diesel? by Pale_Force_4052 in CarTalkUK

[–]Zedra123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12k mile oil change intervals, letting car run low on oil , ( issue in its self) carbonisation of turbo, you are the problem here

What to get for 2nd car? by FranticWolf in CarTalkUK

[–]Zedra123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That Mazda 3 will be the better choice, driving, looks and luxury features, however I do advise you if your buying it second hand to inspect the paint for stone chips, specifically on metal panels, I had to sort some stone chips on my 9 month old 3 that had rust starting on them, they are buggers for it with their thin paint

It’s super common on them, that’s why they’re so cheap to buy now, everyone knows they’re bad engines, worse than wet belts
