lol loving this.

the passenger door handle's a good one. "you've locked me in" - "i cant get out"

fan speed increase when reversing is one i laugh at. why??

rear jet pipe popping off i'm familiar with. i wasn't familiar with it until about a month after my rear wiper had stopped working over the winter and i went to investigate and found about 2 litres of water in my spare wheel well!!

climate control:
people saying the fan speed has a mind of its own, ie changing the temp and they go nuts - theyre meant to arent they? its controlling the climate! if u increase the temp, the fans increase to increase the temp, once temps reached they'll slow down. if you've got it on auto that is.

road noise yes

door cards rattling - never noticed it in my 06 sport, but in my 54 FR its horrible.

i cant really think of any of my own!

other than never being able to get the two clicks to open all doors right. always do it either too slow or too quickly and my passengers cant get in / i cant get in the boot.

good thread :D

Your sidelight bulb fails and you reach for the tools to remove your bumper :blink:

The door mirror interior control knob drops off and lands under the car parked next to you which is just in the process of setting off and running over your head as your rummaging around to retrieve it :doh:

The fan increase when you reverse is actually the climate control going into recirc mode so you don't get choked with exhaust fumes.

Do they actually slow down again? They just seem to get faster and never slow down, but then I dont have it on auto that much as its never that hot and I dont want to waste power to the air-con :D

i think so, well im assuming so. putting it on auto will just control the fans direction and speed to reach and maintain temp.

not that u would but settign it to 28*c and opening the window on a winters day and the fans will stay on full

set it to 21 on a cold morning and the fans will be on high til the temp is reached then just slow down and maintain the 21

Its Not all bad lol

ok well i have to agree with all the complaints but everyone is a negative an i Love Beza. Was an is the cheapest 173 bhp i ever had an it still does 50 to gallon.
Had the washwipe pipe fun an the daft ping gets me too.
I did not know you could turn off the auto locks ? hows it done.
An how come hardly no two cars have the same bits in whats that all about.
But my no1 grip is the traction control !! which doesn't for 5 secs and then just turns everything off an then wont give you the power back for a fortnight it is totally crap an when i a hooning around in the end it gets so upset it turns off the throttle and wont budge till i change gear. Thank christ for the off button lol.[:@] you have to laugh at it really.
