Another thing i noticed today is the rear wiper comes on if reversing with the front wipers on

A lot of cars have had this for a while. My old Skoda did it, however it was intermittent wipe- not the constant wipe that looks like a dog with a mad tail!
Andy you got a complete kidnapping kit in your boot
Tyre wrench for bonking them over the head
wire for tying them up
tape to shut them up
Jump leads for the torture
It must be dark as you have a torch to get around
Enough water/juice for 3 days
Emergency cape for going undercover
Did they keep you long?
You have everything except

My recently acquired 58 1.6 MJ Dynamic doesn't do the cornering lights thing - assume it must have been disabled somehow. Will ask about it at service and see how many blank looks I get ;-)
May the lord help me:bang:
I have just arrived from a trip to Bath only to be pulled over by the police about 1 hour ago!.... for having my front fogs on.
I didnt have my fogs on they fought i did... but of course its the cornering lights that did it.
They pulled me over and told me to step out of the vehicle and told me its againist the law to have your fogs lights on... i said i know but its the feature of the car.. when i offered to demostrate they suddenly became all defensive and told me not to move... after been transfered to the pavement.. they then began the ususal crap of ' have you been drinking sir'... i didnt touch a drop btw... they described me as been red eyed... ive just come back from a 2 hour drive at 2am, i was knackered, so i got breathalized.. i passed that.
They then asked me if they could do a search of the car... i said ok and they found a few roll ups in the centre console( they werent spliffs - they were just normal rolling tabacco). they said whats this... i said there just rolls up, so they ripped up the paper and said "ok", the other officer found a torch and tools in my boot... this was going to be a long night lol.
I had gto explain they were from the other evening when i helped my friend install pads on his fiesta.
I finally got around to demonstrate the cornering lights and to see the coppers faces after all that was hillarious!! lol.
They must of felt like right ****s after all that but they still gave me a producer
For peats sake havent they got better things to do?:bang:
I don't remember a law stating what you're allowed to have in the boot.. bloody nazi's.
If a policeman says you've got your foglights on - tell him you dont. If they say it's illegal to have foglights on when it's not foggy, say you know and you didn't. Get in first and don't be had by their leading or suggestive questions.
To be honest Hellcat, im in a 08 plate car, i look young when i shave and i had a hat on.. so i think i looked very suspicious.
Im more frustrated that they havent got better things to do with their time.
Its the first time ive been stopped in my bravo, i got stopped every few weeks when i had my seicento sporting (which had twin exhausts either side and was very loud).. i was 18 btw
I argree they are NAZI'S

i find these things useless and sick of people saying tut tut driving with fogs on or you got a fog light out etc etc , the A-post's are so big on the bravo you cant really see any extra light anyway as they point behind the A-post, but i think my bravo is cool got a 165 multijet down graded from a bmw m3 for running costs didn't think id cope but must say my bravo has kept me happy so far after all you can only go as fast as the car in front on roads,
But what if YOU are the car in front?
Nearside fog is as good as useless in cornering mode, but I can see more road iluminated on the off-side.
Not much, though.
