General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

« on: 28 January 2023, 16:10:55 »

Some don't even bother to clean the reg plates. 

an un-readable plate is a traffic offence 
ANPR can't read plates if there's enough dirt on them though 
I always clean my lights, plates, ALL glass and cameras
the bodywork not so much

if were talking omega then the pump filter rubber bobbin is the usual culprit but you said rear too ?
different car (or estate !)

I think the washer bottle pump on the Signum serves both front and back  screens.

Does on my humble Vectra, so you are probably right.

There is absolutely no relationship between the humble common as muck Vectra, and the majestic, rare, and highly desirable Signum, Ronny.

Oh dear, the delusional upper classes.

Could be the rubber bung filter clogged
some of these "front and rear" pumps have a valve in that sticks.
the BCM selects front OR rear by reversing polarity on the motor .

I’ll tell you what really pissed me off today.

I was following a 2016 Jag. XF I think.
....
The @rsehole floored it, trying to leave me stuck out on the wrong side of the road. Took his speed from 45, up to significantly higher.

had the same happen to me a couple of days ago 
NOT a Jag though , a BMW
mot sure what model BMW because ,there seem to be more BMWs & Mercs on the road these days than bits of gravel

People who do 30 or 40 on a slip road to a 70 (motorway/dual carriageway) then brake because they can't merge 
slowing EVERYBODY down   
it's happening more and more     
I'm getting fed up of wearing my brakes out because people don't know how to drive 
Also people not bothering to even look right as they enter an island , so I have to stop half way round the island because the idiots have just pulled out       

These things, and more, started happening more often after policemen turned into cameras, Dave. There are no rules of the road any more, because there is no one to enforce those rules.
How many cars do you see with only one headlight working? Or illegible number plates?

indeed 
and all the drivers with front fogs on on a clear day but when it's dense fog (recently) no lights at all , i saw very few cars with rear fogs on .

people should be made to do a test about driving rules etc before being allowed on the roads 

 I always use the slip road to clear the spiders out of my exhaust and give both valves in the the Multiram a workout  , before dropping cruise on at 60 and turn up Radio 2 LOL

yes 
apart from the radio 2 part

I love the smell of burning peat / turf. It reminds me of childhood holidays in  the wilds of Donegal. 

I wonder how many eco mentalists appreciate the irony that one of the most diverse and lovely parts of East Anglia only exist because Lundun was built by burning peat

so burning peat = places like London 
that seems like a good argument to ban burning peat to me
