I agree except i previously had a mk4 ibiza cupra 1.8t with a BBU engine IIRC and that didn't warm up as fast. But like you say that may be because a bigger intercooler?....

Coolant temperature sensor?

Bugger, not sure that's something i want to do faffing about with the dash seeing as the noise sounds more like its coming from the centre of the bulkhead rather than the glovebox

Not sure this is a fault as such but since i bought my VRS i've noticed that the engine seems to warm up rather quickly. Quicker than any other car i've had but not so fast so as to cause concern. The temp gauge does settle at 90 and stays there and the water pump had been replaced before i bought the car. Don't know whether it's supposed to be like that but i mentioned it to skoda dealer once and they said it's possible the water pump is on its way out (despite it being quite young) The car doesn't use any coolant either and get no mayo in oil cap and radiator seems fine so a bit stumped.

Had a great lot tonight got cut up by a ******* bus on the roundabout so gave him a long blast of the horn. Numerous over ****wits just generally being dopey and oblivious to their surroundings including two tailgaters and a focus trying to cut into my lane (|Focus drivers around here are really a bit special in my experience). Gave him the horn. Two cars flying across two lanes of traffic take side roads at the 11th hour. Had a brilliant one a Zafira pulled out of a side road onto a dual carriageway with central reservation and railings and decided to go the wrong way on my side of the road!!! so gave them a blast of the horn a long one this time. As i passed i saw the brake lights come on and presumably a moment of panic, didn't see after that as i turned into Tesco's On the way back from Tescos had a learner driver end up behind me so keeping an eye on my mirrors as i do i then saw the driver (clearly a learner) swigging from a can as she sat in traffic and the instructor clearly not arsed. Had a junkie in the so called secure car park trying to be a service to everyone when he was clearly after one thing. For suck the world is ****** i practically burst a blood vessel by the time i got home and i'm on the verge of giving up driving as i'm sick of being surrounded by these bloody idiots. The learner and instructor said it all really.

What on earth were you driving a peel P50?

The ex BMW (probably) ***** in his audi S4 who decided that he would start moving onto the zebra crossing that me and the wife we already crossing. I had my bike with me at the time so pushed my front wheel as far forward as i dare and said loudly just another Audi *****. With any luck he heard me but drove off anyway. Then a stupid **** in a battered old Avensis who tried to squeeze my bike against the kerb and a woman in a fiesta who was practically driving on it for some reason. Oh and the idiot here that sometimes parks his Lexus RX thingy across the pavement and halfway through the gates at work. Although i did see a W12 Phaeton give it some beans at the traffic light so that cheered me up a bit.

I did not know that!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, whats the PCD (5 X ???) of the spider wheel? Edit never mind, found it sorry.

This thread along with an outstanding fraudulent whiplash claim, constant battle with drivers that shouldn't be allowed to push prams and trolleys let alone vehicles makes me feel like if you can't beat em, join em..... Now how do you drive like a moron? Oh yeah there's plenty of hints here. ; )

Much quieter roads due to half term meaning the rest of the year is spent fighting lazy pupils and parents clogging the roads unnecessarily. I live in a city with many many buses, trains and you can even cycle. Fine if you live in the country and you have 20 miles to school down country lanes but this is a city. Stop driving your idle kids to school.

The woman in the grey Audi A3 who pulled out behind me yesterday and proceeded to sit on my arse. I'd had enough of idiotic drivers so dipped the clutch and stabbed the brakes. She got the message after she shat herself. A risk i know and sometimes can backfire but hey if you cant beat whipcash why not join it ; ) (joke i do not condone that). Then proceeded to stop adjacent to a side road because she couldn't decide if she wanted to turn into it or not then reversed and pulled into it. Woman and Audi drivers seriously!

Started noticing that my heater blower is clunking and making a bit of a rattle, is this an easy and cheap fix or a dash out the way PITA? Ta.

I'll give it a try then and see what its like. Thanks.
