Was on my way back in to town around 5.30pm this eve, coming round one-way by railway arches just after Preston park & spotted a black RS clio pulled by an unmarked Audi. Driver with short black spiky hair. Unlucky, fella.

Fantastic cars. Really stick to the road.

I have a vague idea what air con does ;) There's a difference between water condensing on the underside of the car where the outside air is in contact with the cold air-con unit; and water vapour extracted from the air inside the car being discharged somewhere at the back of the engine, which...

Is this a joke? I really hope so.

Really? Seemed rather a lot of water - there was a trickle running a few metres down the hill from under the engine. I use the climate pretty much all the time and have never noticed it do that before.

Climate was on, yes. What are you thinking?

Need a little help guys: Noticed a few drips under my car when getting in to drive home this evening. Stopped off on way back for 5 mins and there was a steady trickle from under the engine bay (maybe a quarter teacup's worth) and when I had a look it seemed to be coming from somewhere towards...

Sure it was a 172 on London Road? that's my route back to home. I drive a 182 cupped.

Yep but didn't realise it made that much difference!

I paid £234 (£195 plus VAT) last month for AUX belt change in my 182: £120 + VAT for the kit and £75 + VAT for fitting.

Only after reading the manual for my newly purchased 182 (after having owned a 172 for 2 years previously) did I realise that the bit on the windscreen mentioned above was for parking permits, etc. WTF would you need a hole cut out of the UV especially for that?

Have exactly the same issue with my newly acquired 182. At slower speeds around town it constantly tugs left or right- not violently, but enough so I have to work against it. At moderate motorway speeds it's not particularly noticeable, but on bendy sections at fast motorway speeds I feel a...

Hi Everyone Was a member on here a few years back as the owner of a Monaco 172. I'm back in the saddle again (so to speak) with a cupped 182 I've just acquired, so naturally it was time to renew my subscription. Was up the M23 & M25 and back today, and I must have got boring in my old age...

Spotted you going through the barriers a few times- looked like you got quite a few laps in!

Yes! Also, a pretty cool-looking old BMW M1, a few BMW 2002's in great nik, & a monster-truck type thing with an exhaust the size of the channel tunnel! Shame I never got a dry lap, but hey-ho...
