Why do some drivers believe it's their god dam rights to turn on their indicator and drive into a gap in front of you that wouldn't fit a fag paper. Every week I commute from Suffolk to Dorset, every single trip I get some idiot indicate and expect me to slam on the brakes to let them in to the lane, when there clearly is not a safe gap, because you don't they start getting all absuive. Sorry to say it's about 90% of Audi drivers, apologies for any Audi drivers on here, I do think AUDI stands for Alll Useless Dicks Inside, must be a standard full brain lobotomy on purchase. Jumped ship to reliability - Mitsubishi L200

Being a Landrover forum we cover strange anomalies and 'know ' weak points on our various models. I have been lucky with my 90, basically faultless in 10 years and 108000 miles. Yes there's been the odd thing but mostly wear and tear.
In that time my wife has had 4 cars which have all spat there dummy at some point ! Yesterday her 30 month old Mito dumped coolant all over the drive. On inspection it was leaking from under the thermostat housing somewhere. I assumed it was probably the gasket. Now you can't buy just the gasket, but a pattern thermostat was £32 from Eurocar parts. Believing 'Genuine' parts are better, my intention was to just use the new gasket if possible. When I removed the old housing I discovered the true problem !!!! The heater hose had a screw in plastic union, which had cracked! The pattern part is a one piece cast item ! WHY ?!?! Rolling Eyes Just to save a few quid and generate work I guess !Including fetching the new thermostat, it took less than an Hour to fix. The supplying dealer wanted £90 for diagnostics, quoted £285 to supply and fit a new thermostat, and couldn't do it for at least a week!!

So much for advances in Tecnology, and another reason to stick with my trusty TD5 Thumbs Up

Now that the BBC have finally announced all three Top Gear blokes have gone, I am now getting pretty annoyed by how bad the next presenters could be Whistle
My vote for the worst combination of the worst blokes:
Phillip Gennister, Brian Johnson, and that Matt bloke off of One Show.......making my blood boil just thinking about it! Evil or Very Mad

The worst combination I can think of is these three talentless twerks.

Griff Rhys Jones He always seems to me to be entirely too smug and pleased with himself. Mind you, I’d be pretty smug if I was a talentless Censored who the BBC kept throwing money at.

Alan Davies all imbecilic expressions and nancy boy voice.

Paddy McGuinness is a right berk of a contender (or should I say ‘reet’) This knob is simply famous and on telly for being Peter Kay’s mate… All that ‘Me likey!’ and ‘Ding Dang Do!’ what’s that all about. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I'd like to see Tiff Needell head a team.
He's got a great sense of humour and an enormous knowledge of performance cars.
