Well done Welton. Any word from that Rees chappy?

Fabled doggy fabled !!! how dare you i'll have you know i have several friends with
block paved drives that i regularly park in and have never left even the smallest drip of oil
on ( and yes its a total bewilderment to me too ) my old astra left what looked like a major
oil spill on the road outside where i live And no doubt after this and despite clutching
wood my old girl will probably start leaking

I was on the Isle of Man once, sharing the hotel with the Boring Old Fart Motorcycle Club (VMCC). Nicest bunch of old guys you ever want to meet, however there's a few subjects you should steer clear of, one of them being oil leaks and another being the possible superiority of Japanese bikes. Anyway, mate of mine said a few years before he had enough of one boasting about how his bike was totally oil tight so he got a capfull out of his and poured it on the pavement under this guys bike. Apparently he almost had a nervous breakdown.

Never in doubt old chap, breezed it!
We had a little trouble with the emissions test but I suspect that was more to do with their equipment than mine Wasn't even registering, necessitating the insertion of the probe in to a nearby ticking over Kia in order to make sure it was working properly. Once proven it was inserted back into my old girl who passed with ease

Relax Puggy, I never doubted yours was leak free. Truth is mine doesn't leak either, (apart from refrigerant)
And my foglights don't turn themselves off.
Livened things up a bit though, didn't it

Don't bother Puggy, on the later ones with the COM 2000 the switch returns to central position after you flick the foggies on, twist once and release for front foggies, then repeat for rears (you turn them back off by twisting and releasing in the opposite direction). Yours has the other type switch doesn't it? With the ring type switch that has position 1 then position 2 for foggies, so your lights are controlled by the switch rather than the poxing naffing BSI, so they won't go off until you turn the switch off in that old fashioned manual way .
Just another completely uneccesary and overcomplicated, feature of my superior car over yours fella
