    Is it possible that a fox or dog has peed up you wheel and the fluid has run behind the wheel and round to where your seeing it?

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    ^^ I'm 95% sure this'll turn out to be aircon drainage :rotfl:

    Might be the water pump gone. Have you tried tasting the liquid? If it's got a sickly sweet taste then it's coolant (with anti-freeze in it). It's poisonous so spit don't swallow!

    ahh reminds me of an old girlfriend.

    If it was petrol, you would be able to smell it.

    You don't have aircon?!

    I didn't think there was such a thing.. a modern car without aircon?

    How can anyone possibly cope without aircon. :eek:

    In the olden days we use to open a window.
    Come to think of it, i still do.

    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    I think you can live without aircon for 98% of the year in the UK. Although it does really help with demisting the windscreen.

    Reminds me of a couple of years ago, driving between Valencia and Barcelona in July, and the aircon appeared not to be working. I drove for about an hour in stifling heat wondering if I would be able to find somewhere to have it sorted before realising that I had the heat setting cranked up. D'oh...
