For the second day on the trot, I have lost count at the number of motorists flashing at me or gesturing at me, akmost as if I am driving about with lights on main beam. Yesterday morning I was driving through aldershot and a bus driver was waving his hand at me and pointing to the front of my car, so I didnt really think a lot of it. A bit further up the road someone does the same thing waving their hands about and pointing at the front of the car. So I'm thinking this is a bit odd in the space of a mile or so. Bit further on a van driver is flashing his lights at me and again pointing at the car. So I stopped at the nearest garage and had a look about the front of the car, lights werent on, nothing untoward. So, a bit confused drive towards home. Another two drivers flashed their lights, trying to get my attention. OK so this is beginning to pi$$ me off a bit now.

So today, I drove about 10 miles into another town and again, all I had was the flashing lights and drivers signalling at me. A driver in front of me flasshed his hazards several times, so I slowed down behind him while he moved over into the other lane and as I passed he is trying to tell me something. I move past him and he's flashing his lights at me. Arrrghhhhhhhhhhh.

So leaving town, I'm driving at a steady pace and this is playing heavily on my mind cos for the life of me I cannot figure out what ppl are drivers are trying to alert me to. Back into Aldershot and as I am heading down the High Street, this old bloke is waving his arms about the place and pointing at the car.....now I am seriously and truly well fecked off. So off home and another two drivers have flashed me.......I give up, God knows what the hell they are trying to tell me. Have spent about half hour or so, looking about the engine bay, under the car and playing about with the lgith switches trying to see if I can find anything wrong, but for the life of me I cant.

Do you drive a car with flashing blue lights?

Its funny you mention the downpipes glowing red hot, cos even with the fan blowing cold(ish) air, the cabin gets very hot, lots of fumy smells as well. Whatever it going on, its enough to cause ppl some level of alarm, judging by their frantic light flashing and hand gestures (not the w@nker ones).

Sorry,

Have been away all weekend enjoying the compnay of 300 other WHO fans at the WHO CONVENTION in London, so havent read the replies to this thread until now.

Stevie many thanx for the offer mate, and apols I didnt get back to you, will be mindful of it next time.

drove the car into London and back and didnt have any problems at all. BOSS called by this afternoon and we parked up in some country la a driveby or two and nothing could be seen. So, more than likely I have an intermittent problem....but it will get sorted out.

Oh and personally I couldnt give a shyte what badge the car has!
