  • I am so close to completely rebuilding my Mclaren 720s but i find myself doing more repairs to it after i let the former stig to the first shakedown of the car and unfortunately he put it in the gravel trap, causing more damage that i originally thought.

    Matt my lights on my leon some times stop working (led) usually its due to moisture getting in. You might of been able to take them off and strip them down and just hold a hair drier to them. Mine always work again after doing that and I usually end up needing to do it once during the winter months.

    It's great that it was cleaned up. But when that is not an option and You need to find an oil leak in a dirty engine bay, then You can add special dye to the engine oil that is visible in UV light. This way you can determine where the oil is currently coming from even if all of it is full of oil, since only that place will be different color.
