    IIRC on 202/203/208/209s they are not obviously marked like they are on BMWs (big red cap) - and look like little more than a connector block for some big cables.

    Waste Disposal Advice

    Had a Frankie with the house - that lasted about 25 years (one repair/overhaul by me). Replaced with the cheapest Insinkerator from B&Q about 3 years ago - no problems.

    Chav behaviour

    I was thinking similar - i.e. is he actually going that fast -ssemed to spend most of the time bliping it and then slowing gain. Pedestrains and cyclists don't really seem to react at all (even to the noise).
