Hi there, could someone please let me know what this part is as it appears to be leaking oil from the pipe??:doh:

Last week I stuck in queuing traffic on one of those hot days here in Scotland. Outside temp was 32c and had my AC on. Wasn't long before I had a low coolant warning and some steam from the engine. Soon I was out of coolant and had to pull over due to steam. Recovered by green flag. I drive a...

Or perhaps "It never rains but it pours Pt II"... The wretched thing has now sprung a leak! It is a very pleasant car to drive, but if ever a car needed a swift kick up the jacksie, this one does... Engine runs fine; gearbox shifts fine; no sign of oil/bubbles/scum in the coolant; no sign...

Hi, my name's Mark and my car has a drinking problem... It all started in November, when I noticed that she'd started knocking back the juice a bit, well to be honest about a quarter of a litre every 100 miles. After some heated 'discussions' in the garage about what the hell she was doing...
