Driving to work this morning on the A1(M), I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Merc doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that damn makeup!!! It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my mobilephone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs and DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL!!!!!!! …

Hi Guys, Has anyone had the same problem as me with their rear reverse light cluster lens misting up with condensation?. I took the panel off yesterday but was unable to seperate the plastic from the perspex faceplate.

I've seen this come up again and again. Mine had new front Nissan discx about 15k ago. Lately there's been a judder when check braking from high speed. Brake hard and it used to steady up. Then I did the tension rod bushes which were leaking. The judder definitely changed but it was still there at high speed. Eventually it got worse.
