    in my view, the root cause of all crashes are stupid idiot people. speed is just a byproduct of this.

    you can kill someone going at slower speeds i.e. 40km/h

    you can easily have an accident going 80 - 100km/h (with bald tires / distractions etc)

    falling asleep on the wheel can get you killed at any speed.

    having unbuckled kids / people in the car

    a few months ago i saw a car right in front of me got T boned at an intersection running the red light. He was going no faster than 50 - 60km crossing that intersection and the car that hit him was going roughly the same.

    in conclusions:

    idiots, the lack of education and lack/lapse of judgement is what kills.

    who here honestly believes that we get the driving education we need by just passing our restricted / full licenses?

    why cant they implement something like an average speed/time traps instead? they have it in Aus.

    from my understanding of it is, 1 camera at the beginning of a section (i.e. a 5km stretch of road) and 1 at the end. the system takes photo of your car at the beginning and at the end of the section and calculates how long it took you to do the 5km section. if it calculates you were speeding then you get a ticket.

    take good pictures and post.

    if you can, remove airbox and other things in the way so you can have a good look. most problems, depending on your backyard grease monkey skills can be fixed without going to the local mechanic.

    as i said trace the coolant leak, if that fails

    first things to check :

    drivebelt system / pulleys

    reservoir

    reservoir cap

    hoses

    waterpump

    radiator

    think that's all of it. might be lucky and just be a hose :)

    Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind when I check coolant levels and oil tomorrow. 

    Yeah just track it down from where it is leaking. Follow the leak basically. have had quite a few from the smallest hole on a hose to the reservoir bottle blowing up lol.

    I have looked into it, and I should try it just to say I have but there have been a few who have flashed back to standard because they do the majority of their driving in normal driving mode and they haven't liked the way the flash behaves. I'm much the same, spend most of the time in normal driving mode. I rarely use sport so I'm likely to be in that camp.

    I'm not sure how one would call this car boring with the steptronic gearbox. Don't get me wrong, a manual has it's place, but I am NEVER wishing I waited for a manual. I'm reluctant to try the DCT... because I will end up liking it more... and I have enough liabilities.

    been meaning to try it. how bad is it on the daily?

    Hi all,

    e82.

    just noticed this now. heater on front vents are blowing cold air unless the temp is maxed out then really hot air comes out from the front vents. i usually have it on 21c so barely noticed it before.

    but it seems that the heater works fine on the leg warmers and the windscreen on all temps.

    anyone got an idea?

    It's Japanese common courtesy in the service industry. You will even see this kind of service at petrol stations in Japan. they will pump your gas, check tire pressures, wash windows and check fluids. and when you drive out, some will guide you out of traffic and if you look through the rear view mirror, you will see them bowing with their hats off.
