The plot



It thickens ...



The car was parked up all yesterday - post work pub requiring public transport utilisation.

Got in it this morning (running late, so didn't check the level).

A steady drive up the road at 60-65mph.

Got to within 1 mile of work and



**BUZZER FLASHY RED LEVEL WARNING**

after about 30 secs this went away, and the traction control had a paddy.



I'm thinking

1. The level was low when the car was cold, and reached the trigger level when it was sitting at a particular angle - setting off the alarm.

Or

2. The sensor is failing/affected by the traction control freakery.



I know the car eats water. But how and why have still to be determined.



How I long for the point/carb/air-cooled GSA ..
