Repairing a rusty wing!
This is the second video in Steph’s ‘Rust to Roadworthy’ series, in which she’s restoring Tina the Marina from a rusty mess to a roadworthy car she can take to Northern Soul nights.
Steph's keen to stress that she's not a mechanic, bodywork expert or anything of the sort, but she’s keen and has a bit of expert help on hand in this vid (we’d advise removing the battery next time, Steph). This episode shows her getting to grips with Tina's holey wing.

How to Clean Your Turbo
Cyd's mission is to be an 'enabler'. To show you how to do your own service and repair work, and take the mystery out of working on your car. Just like us, then!
Turbocharger cleaning isn't part of a normal servicing routine, be that your own – at home – or a main dealer's. But it's worth considering on high-mileage vehicles, where muck builds up to such an extent that it can affect engine performance and shorten the turbo's life. Cyd shows you how to do it.

VW Scirocco Mk2 Service
We're rather jealous of Katie's Scirocco, which scoops a prize at Bicester Heritage right at the end of this vid. But most of it is devoted to a full service, which includes fitting a 'performance' air filter.
Are they worth the extra over a standard paper filter?
