Unfortunately that's wrong. Temporary traffic lights use radar to detect vehicles moving towards the lights. The sensor is the black box above the traffic light. You need to be moving at more than 5 mph to trigger the system into recognising that you are there and it needing to change the lights.

Out of interest, what does the Volvo/Custom-made bracket do? Obviously the A/C pump is removed but why the need for a bracket? P.S. I wasn't having a go earlier about removing the A/C, just saying that I quite like mine as it's my daily driver, so there's no point me removing it for the odd...

Nonsense! I always have my climate control on when on track - keeps me nice and cool! :cool:

The Seat Leon Touring Car this season is a TDi - and although it sounds a bit odd out on track, there's no doubting it's performance.

Every morning this week coming the other way! :cool:

Could've been Mike - he's from Reading so not too far away.

How random? Have you had the balancing checked on the tyres? Just a thought, but perhaps if they're slightly out it might be enough to vibrate small components like mirrors?

You should pop along to the next meet we have. There's one in Pompey at Krispy Kremes soon, but we have more local ones at the Longbridge Mill, Sherfield On Loddon, when the weather is nicer. :D

LOL - Damned boy racers! :mad: ;)

of Clio V6s parked up at the Longbridge Mill pub, Sherfield On Loddon, this afternoon. :cool:

Not far at all matey. :)

RB 182, I think it was Mike's old car. I followed it up the A339 through Basingstoke, you gave us a little thumbs up before heading off towards Old Basing. :cool:

This morning and this afternoon, between Basingstoke and Alton. Female driver. Looked very nice (car and driver that is ;) )

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...
