just came but back from a drive with my flipin sunglasses compartment open the whole way and it won't close. Does anyone else have this problem? im guessing its the heat..making the thing expand or something

It's a poky little cubbyhole and I can't fit my sunglasses into it.  I have to use the little cubbyhole by the steering wheel.

Get back from a 100 mile drive and the car is telling me that I need to downshift like it wants to keep the revs up.  Then when I pull it its idling a bit fast 900ish and then when I turn the car off the fans come on like its too hot for a good 5 minutes.  Twice now in two days after two good long runs, car temp never above 90 according to the guage.

Got 400km on the clock...and both front doors click constantly. Not really loud, just enough to drive you nuts.
Also, plastic battery compartment completely warped, with no hope of ever closing.
Climate control unit seem intent of either frezzing me to death in the mornings.  To get any heat, I need to punch the dials to max so the auto kicks off. In the day when it's warm, only solution is to drive without A/C on until it gets pretty stuffy, then turn it on for a bit.
Looking through this topic, seems you guys relaly inspect you cars, perhaps need to do a complete check over mine.

I have a strange feeling in my loins () that his 'minger' (Steve's description!) might be a noisy, very fast fcuker which may last forever whilst driving the very nice owner perfectly insane!
