Water or smoke or both?
Hi all! Today I went from Folkestone to Dover max miles 10. First 2 miles town, 6 miles dual carrageway max MPH 70, last two miles in town. Switch off engine. Steam or smoke rising from near side under the bonnet & windscreen on the out side. Lifted bonnet quick look, it looked like steam/smoke coming up from back & below engine on inside past the battery. Could not see FA too many pipes & wires! Return to car and drove back! Looked under bonnet, check matrix hoses, not a drop of liquid anywhere! No smoke nowt! WTF is going on, or any ideas what it can be! Why cant we have more space under the bonnet! TT auto UK 91 Arthur :confused:

Insurance
Hi Insurance ! um! I pay £755 Norwich Union. I am happy with this because: it includes recovery in England & abroad via RAC, Gold cover,home start & anything else you want to call them out for!! I have NEVER been stranded. In the Z its very easy to become stranded. Secondly, Valuation! interesting this is too! I have a standard ZX TT 91 UK (no mods)! owned for two & a half years I Paid £6k for it, came with over £5K of bills in the past two years. Since owning my Z I have bills around £8K!! & it is still standed! Value at this time maybe er £5K! eek! I am like most, I enjoy my car & get paranoid at the slightest knock or stange sound that appears! It could be expensive! I am moving to Gemany in Feb 04 I am thinking of taking it with me cos the car o'ws me! Valuation! Arthur
