Plus: our project 2004 Ford Focus ST170 gets serviced; our Toyota Aygo project has a full exhaust system fitted; buying cars over a decade old (is it a good move?); how to spot a good Renaultsport (RS) Megane; making a DIY rust removal solution; fitting a new cylinder-head cover gasket on a BMW 5-Series N55 engine; finding diagnostics faults on a 2022 Dacia Duster 1.5 dCi 4x4; and we review the Sealey CLM2250 portable car lift.
