    No water came in at all but I will check the air filter after work. I was lucky as a cut cat..

    I just opened the air filter housing and the filter was dry but there was water in the bottom of the box.... I dried it all out but the car took ages to start which was unusual. I was sweating until I got going..

    Working like a slave does not help it too as i come back home and the only thing i want is just go to bed or die. i came back home at 13:30 today and passed out at 14:00, woke up only 17:30 and felt like crap ( day time sleep sickness ).

    i was short on diesel last night (did an unexpected 50 miles) and had to pull off the motorway for Roscrea. No station open, passed two closed ones with "24/7" written outside them.

    Anywho, i knew i'd see a speed camera so i kept well within the limit with the cruise control on, set at about 98-99 kmph.

    Saw a van from a well over a mile away in the pitch dark, and hit the brake, then slowly passed it to have a gander. When i went passed the bloody thing flashed me?

    Now, it happened me before that it flashed me, and i was under the limit.

    Why would it flash me?
