This morning on the A325 through Bordon. You went straight over at the roundabout towards the A3. I was in the Police Transit van giving way :)

I should think that'll melt/burn. Cats get up to around 800 degs C.

If it sounds normal then you should be fine come MOT time. If it's not noisy then the MOT tester won't notice I would've thought.

Sussex have a Lotus Exige in full police livery. Apparently though, it's not used for pursuits or general patrol duties. It's supposedly for turning up at cruises to educate the "yoof" about road safety.

LOL - that had me thinking too! ;)

Nonsense. We've got a few unmarked Octavias. Anything else you might have seen is probably out of force (i.e. another force), cars on loan for testing, driver training vehicles, or even a different emergency service altogether.

With black aftermarket alloys, yesterday afternoon pulled into the car park at the front of the Police Station. Had a little Spax sticker in the rear window.

I went past whoever it was in an RB 182 with stripes.

This morning. Just coming out of Army Land and approaching a roundabout. :cool:

This morning, on the A33 roundabout joining the A339 northbound. Twas a silver non-RS clio with nice alloys and silver to black tinted windows with a large Cliosport sticker in the rear window.

Yeah mine are different. That's absolutely mint. I wish my wheels were in as good a nick as those.

Yes it's illegal. I had one like that on my old 306. I drove around for months before being pulled over by an unmarked car and given a £30 wonder for my troubles, so it's not really worth the hassle.

Renault dealerships, Halfords, any other motoring store etc etc........

Sounds like an Arctic Blue then. If so, they've put the stripes on afterwards.

Oh dear. Well it wasn't me.

This afternoon, coming from the Reading direction. You pulled up at the lights next to me. You were turning right into Chineham.

EDIT: The above method of removal was from a previous car, not necessarily a Clio. I found a picture of the back of a Mk.1 Clio mirror on eBay...

Yes it's the same button as the heated rear window. IIRC, to get the glass off, there should be a circular metal spring which holds the glass on the back plate. It is accessible by separating the two ends of the spring, situated behind the glass, but getting to them will be awkward. If you...

Yeah the heating element is bonded on to the back of the mirror glass, with two "spade" type connectors that attach it to the wiring loom coming from the base plate on the door. If you turn on the mirrors when they are all misted up (such as when its foggy), you can see the outline of the...

Could be a loose or corroded connection onto the back of the mirror glass. Failing that, the glass itself may need replacing if the element has gone.

This afternoon. Male driver.

You don't get that dial on 1*2s with Xenons. They auto adjust via a sensor on the rear axle/beam thingy.

Silica Bags are very good at absorbing moisture. Try it - if it doesn't work, you've lost nothing.

Ahh... I never noticed it before on my patrols in the area. Shame if it's not being used though.

Check the fuse first. If that's ok check the foglight bulb and replace if necessary. After that, check that the tell-tale light on the dash works. If not, then you might need to whip out the dash and replace the tiny bulb in there.

Parked up on of the side roads towards the bottom of Ramshill, yesterday evening.

Yeah that sounds like mine. It hasn't happened for months, and then it's done it twice in a row!

I have no idea matey. I couldn't even tell you if the driver was male or female!

When my 182 is cold, I'll be driving along at speed, then the car will just stop accelerating. If I push the loud pedal, nothing happens - it actually starts slowing down! It doesn't seem to matter if I down change to 4th. The problem does eventually go away, but as it normally happens on fast...

Spotted coming out of Whitehill and joining the A325 yesterday afternoon. I was in the Police Volvo behind you. I have to say it did look awesome in white with black wheels. :cool:
