Whats the best automotive related buy you have made recently?
mine has got to be the 75ltr parts cleaner i brought about a month back off ebay for £28. the fluid cost me £60 tho to fill it!
Had the zetec head sat in it for last day and then had the jet on it this eve and its come up almost like a new head... just needs a quick going over again tomorrow might and will be shiny and spotless ready for some machining.
Have also got all of my scrap yard sockets in it at the mo soaking to get all the grim and cacked on rusty bits off them.... its working a treat!
