    Too true. My local garage always washes out the gunk and attempts a repair. This lot were the only outfit open for miles on a Sunday so they had me by the short & curlies & they knew it.

        I resorted to re-wiring the dashboard lights on my old car so that they don’t come on with the ignition however, in the new car there is an option in the fuse box to set the same.

          My Type-R had a space saver that was too small to fit over the front disc, if you had a front flat you had to put a rear wheel on the front and put the saver on the rear.

          It must be cost cutting rather than space saving. My old 205 GTI had a full size alloy in a cage stowed under the car at the back, that's just empty space on most modern cars.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
