Jeez I'm not that bad! The screen wash bottle is right next to the coolant bottle which is right next to the radiator cap. I was in a hurry, in the dark, undid the plastic yellow cap and filled it up...

What do you care? You don't belong to our region no more, you started your own one so, get your photographer

nice car man. If I hadn't modded my WRX and if I still didnt owe dosh on it, I'd have one of these... well well, not to be

haha! Yeah, not to my liking at all

I guess with the detergent in the water boiling up produces the steam... I dunno. And yeah, I dunno how many posts I have read on here about how to fill a radiator without getting air-locks and crap like that. Man, I just so cannot be bothered!!!!! How much antifreeze needs to go in anyway?

What an embaressment! Next you will be putting screen wash in your coolant system like some complete a55 just did!

I have managed to be a complete tool (again). This time I filled up the coolant bottle with screenwash!!!! Its the type of stuff you get from Halfords that's pre-mixed. I have been running cold water into the reseviour and header tank thing to try and flush it a bit. Steam billowing everywhere and I think the water temp shot up! Will this cause damage and what to do now???

To be honest mate, I think you will have no probs picking up a nice Hawkeye for that sort of money and have some left over as well. The £400 is a bit of a hit, but I just do it in 6 months to ease the pain. Good luck!

Nice one!

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, however, the noise (well that one) has stopped! There are other knocking sounds that I think might be suspension related, but the the noise reported on the OP didn't sound suspension related. I never got under the car either, too cold and I wouldn't know what I was looking for. Hopefully, the noise will stay away

Dunno Dunno Both aded to the list for the weekend's checks I hope that snow keeps off.

Hi All. Driving the car tonight and I start to hear a clunking sound from the rear. I pulled over had a look around, nothing obvious. Its not a continouse sound and there is no pattern to it. The sound is a bit like hitting a big pot with a wooden stick, weird! I can go along the road for a few miles and hear nothing, then suddenly a few random clunks, then nothing for a bit, then a clunk here and there... Anyway, anyone experienced this before? The car is running on Tein Superstreet Coilovers and has a Whiteline 24mm ARB. That's all the mods I have at the rear end. Thanks

utterly disgraceful. Sorry man. I hope the low-life who did this meet a just end.

Brilliant! Great find!

Hideous!

Yes, yes and YES!

Excellent!

Nice choice of machine to make the jump with

Could have fooled me. BBC news is awash with the Copenhagen crap with presenters forcasting all manner of gloom and doom if action is not taken. Any breakthrough of a turnaround from this nonsense is surely dead in the water I thought Partillo and the presenter guy in particular, put up a very damning arguement against the one who called us all idiots (and a very ugly presenter he was too. If he had argued that ugliness was a symptom of AGW, he would have gotten my vote for sure). What is Cohen all about? Where does he get off calling people idiots simply because they disagree with his point of view? Ph D standard scientists and Nobel proze winners are idiots because, because well, some ugly journo said so. Go back under your rock mate and give us all peace!

Jeez man you have the best of about ten worlds! Seafar99 going all NewAge on us! Ha! Who'd have thunk it

Really can't argue with that, defo worthwhile to count our blessings and its worth dwelling on the positive, rather than the negative.

Ha! As soon as I posted the question, the thought "Original Poster" actaully sprang to mind But thanks for the confirmation

What's an OP???

As Barry said, get a second opinion re. disk replacement. Dealers (apparently) will tell you they will need replaced with there is mucho life left in them. Changing the front disks and pads is a skoosh. I'm a complete tit with cars and I managed it at the first attempt, so you should manage it blindfolded.

To the contrary, I enjoyed reading your last, lengthy post. Its not so much one dating method or the other, its dating methodology period. People don't realise that, regardless of the dating method in question, supposition plays a big part. And where there is supposition, there is no certainty. Also, Plimer recounts climate history with such startling detail, going back millions of years... how is this possible unless one is there to witness such??? How can he, on the one hand give such scathing dissproval of climate models based on guess-work etc. but on the other hand, "prove" geological climate change with such certainty using a different set of guesses? Given the wide range of references that he has read and quoted, it would appear that there is a consensus among geolgists at least, of these climate-swings in the distant past. Which means, geologists who are pro-AGW are ignoring data from their own field. So whether the science is right or wrong, makes no difference, as all (generally speaking) parties accept said data. Nevertheless, his climate-change information/history for recent times, for which there are witness records, habits, migrations etc. etc. is compelling reading, at least in my tiny mind. Mr. Plimer's book has, for the present at least, given way to a photoghraphy book! I'll get back to it though A word about Andy's post: As Dale said "sad, but true". There is nothing we really can do. For me, this is more frustrating than having this AGW racket forced down my throat. I couldn't agree more regarding your assessment of government (all parties, all countries). As I have said in other places: "Democracy... an illusion". Apologies, that was a bit off-top.
