    So what you are saying is we need to ban the Chinese

    Had the same problem in a brand spanking new BMW 7 series, and the water was actually pissing onto one of the brake disks, caused a lovely piroette on the motorway one evening.

    Forget about asking them to kindly fix the faults, they already know and don't care. So find some thugs, go round the dealership, and get medieval on their ass. It is the only way to ensure such faults are rectified.

    And if everyone in the British Isles suddenly dropped dead tomorrow, then at the current rate of increase in China's population (20 million annually) there would be the same number of extra Chinese within three years.

    People who take it for granted that China will be the dominant superpower in twenty years should ponder those figures, and ask themselves if it isn't much more inevitable that resource-wise and social-wise something will go pear-shaped big time in China before too long.

    They may as well announce it at £2,000,000 a year, they've got zero chance of ever getting elected.

    Like they're ever going to be in power!

    Do you really think £2k is going to stop someone from driving a £150k Bentley?

    I suppose it would be popular legislation for the (jealous)poor!

    Lib Dems plan a £2,000 road tax

    The Liberal Democrats hope to change Britain's car-buying habits
    The owners of cars which generate the most pollution would face annual road taxes of £2,000 under Liberal Democrat plans to tackle climate change.
    The figure - 10 times the current rate - would cover high-end cars such as BMW's 7 series, Bentley Continentals and the four-by-four Porsche Cayenne.

    Like the SR71 the vehicle was made so that when its travelling at speed the heat generated by the friction of the air along the skin will close up all points where leakage occurs. Obviously you aren't driving your car fast enough!

    Driver error I'm afraid. The cooling system is designed to lose a little water. This is because driven correctly it will be replenished by the driver p*ssing himself every time he floors it.
