Thanks to Car Mechanics magazine for celebrating our 10th anniversary in their October issue. Since 2013, we've been working hard to verify lubricant specifications and ensure lubricants can deliver what they claim. #lubricants #engineoil

This is the chap who's breathed new life into my SAAB 9-3, just at the point where I was about giving up. Here's Chris Wilkinson from @motorvationsaab. A Kent based SAAB guru with 40yrs experience. Read all about it soon in Car Mechanics Magazine. @cmtips @MartynKnowles – at Horsham, England

Todays tip: When it’s foggy, you need dipped headlights on. Not sidelights & fog lights. Not daytime running lights Not NO lights Dipped headlights ( & fog lights if visibility is below 100metres) Also, DO NOT rely on auto lights. They won’t come on! #RoadSafety #Fog

Just over 6 months ago my eldest managed to get an apprenticeship with a local bodyshop. He's still there and loving it. Thanks to @AR_Career for their help. If anyone is looking for a technical apprenticeship in the motortrade, these guys are definitely worth speaking to. – at Northampton, England

I need to contact the owner of this Arizona Gold Ford Cortina Mk4, SNR 977R, please. I believe it's based in Scotland. Please get in touch if you are the owner, or even if you know who the owner is, and I can explain in more detail. Thanks, John. Please retweet

This is our new Jaguar Improved Door Handle Gasket, made from closed cell foam. The gaskets on the XJ6, XJ8, XJ12, XJR, X300 and X308 models turn brittle and deteriorate over time, meaning water can enter through the door handle and play havoc with your electrics.

Ok Car Twitter, I need your help! I know it’s a long shot but I’ve just found a huge service history file of a car I sold in 2006. It’s a 1991 Saab 900 Turbo Reg number J322LJA. Can we find the owner so I can reunite them with their history file??!!
