by oilman, 19-08-2017, 08:10 AM
In something of a reprise of our competition back in June, we're giving away over £150's worth of cleaning, polishing and detailing products... but this time you stand more chance of a prize because there's the added bonus of 3 runners up prizes, each of a £50 voucher to spend at Opie Oils.
Free to enter, no purchase necessary. Read enough? Scroll down for the link to the competition entry forml, or read on for more details...
It's a great prize, containing everything you need to get your car looking the business inside and out!
There's car shampoo and wheel cleaner, clay bars and polishes - a huge selection of products from Meguiars, Muc-off and Bilt Hamber.
How to win it?
Easy! Just let us know the make of the "mystery car" on our web site and fill in the competition entry form with your answer. If you like,
you can tell us what model it is too, but you don't need to... and there are no bonus prizes!
It's free to enter and there's no commitment to buy anything, so give it a go!
You've nothing to lose... except, as we said before, a whole weekend spent cleaning and polishing your car if you're the winner ;-)
The competition's not open for long, so get your skates on... last entries by close of play this coming Sunday, 4th October 2009, please.
If you're the winner, you'll get all this:
A bottle of Bilt Hamber Auto Wash (mega-concentrated; a teaspoon per bucket's all you need)
A bar of Bilt Hamber Auto Clay - Regular (for a first time claying to get rid of paint impurities)
A bar of Bilt Hamber Auto Clay - Soft (for the more regular detailer)
A Muc-Off Device and Screen Cleaner pack (for everything from spectacles to your satnav screen)
A can of Muc-Off Disc Brake Cleaner (does what it says on the tin - also good at removing permanent marker from whiteboards when you use the wrong pen, as we found out last week)
A Muc-Off Ultimate Wheel and Tyre Kit (Muc-Off Nanotech Wheel Cleaner, Muc-Off Wheel Seal plus 3 brushes, a sponge, a cloth, 2 sponge applicators and a nice tub to put it all in)
A Meguiars Lambs Wool Wash Mitt (soft and fluffy)
A bottle of Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer (Never good at spelling, those Americans)
A tube of Meguiars Scratch X (for isolated scratches and blemishes)
A bottle of Meguiars Hot Shine Tyre Dressing Spray (if you like the wet look)
A bottle of Meguiars Carpet and Interior Cleaner (you know it's overdue!)
4 Meguiars soft foam applicator pads (round and yellow)
A bottle of Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (good stuff, this, and comes with a sparkly purple applicator pad)
A 1 litre bottle of Fuchs Screen Wash concentrate (makes up to 5 litres for winter use, twice that in the summer)
... so that'd keep you busy.
There's also the option for the winner to substitute the product selection above for a more motorcycle-focussed prize instead. Contact us for details if that's of specific interest.
Rules? Well, Opie Oils staff can't enter :-( The prize is as stated and there's no cash alternative, entries received after Sunday 4th October won't count and just the one entry each please!
Good luck!

Toyota / Lexus recall
by Lexusboy, 19-08-2017, 05:15 AM
The recall includes the latest Toyota Camry model
Carmaker Toyota has announced its biggest recall, saying it will call in 3.8 million vehicles in the US.
The problem is with loose floormats, which may cause the accelerator pedal to stick.
The problem affects eight models of Toyota and Lexus cars and trucks in the US, where owners have been told to remove floormats on the driver's side.
The US government said it had received reports of 100 related incidents that involved 17 crashes and five deaths.
RECALLED MODELS
Camry sedan 2007-2010
Avalon sedan 2005-2010
Prius hybrid 2004-2009
Tacoma truck 2005-2010
Tundra truck 2007-2010
Lexus IS250 2006-2010
Lexus IS350 2006-2010
Lexus ES350 2007-2010
Last month, an off-duty California state trooper and three members of his family were killed when their 2009 Lexus E350 crashed in the San Diego area.
Before the crash, one of the passengers called 911 to report that the accelerator was stuck and the car had reached 120 miles per hour (193km per hour).
"Obviously the tragic accident in San Diego was certainly an eye opener for all of us and we've paid very, very diligent attention to moving forward to try to make sure none of us will be reliving that kind of a very tragic situation," said Toyota spokesman Irv Miller.
Toyota said owners could be notified of the recall as early as next week.
It will affect Toyota Camry sedans from 2007-2010, Toyota Avalon sedans from 2005-2010, Toyota Prius hybrids from 2004-2009, Tacoma pick-up trucks from 2005-2010, Tundra trucks from 2007-2010 and luxury Lexus models ES350 from 2007-2010 and 2006-2010 models of the IS250 and IS350.
The 3.8 million vehicles are equivalent to about two years of sales in the US for Toyota.
Toyota shares fell in Tokyo following the announcement.
I had this same problem when i bought the wife Focus CC3 The floor mat got stuck under the accelerator pedal and when i pushed the brake the accelerator pedal the car was racing faster.
I was really lucky not to crash the car this was on the drive from buying the car from the dealer.
