I HAVE to have a clean windscreen. Even a fly splat sends the windscreen wipers and washers into a giddy fit. I must go though half the UK stock of screenwash on my own. :embarassed:

Lol I've been to the dealers three times so far - all just to get screenwash!

The first time I bought the stuff, I completely forgot to dilute it so stuck in three bottles' worth in one go! Too used to using ready-mixed stuff.

I only mentioned it once in this thread  :laugh:

I always push the button on my handbrake in when I pull it up, I hate the sound of the the handbrake clicking when it's just pulled straight up!

Don't think it matters.  On some cars the hand brake can fail if you don't pull it up on the ratchet.  Clio's I think

Exactly, I wouldn't call it obsession, Pretty much everyone does that.
Its like saying that I turn the steering wheel to go around corners.

you can wear out the ratchet spring if you don't push in the button when pulling up the handbrake..... aparently.
but at the same time u have to measure how many clicks till it's tight.  more than 3 clicks and it needs tightening

My obsession includes walking away from the car and looking back at it at least twice. Sometimes just to look at it and sometimes I wonder if I have left quite enough space between my car and the people carrier next to it, and whether it was foolish to put it there even though its the only space left.

Sometimes I think i'm perfectly normal.

When in a public carpark, I constantly think and worry about the car.
Im glad when I get back to it.
