My 2002 Renault Scenic has on the power steering cap "use DOT 4 brake

Have a look in manual that came with the car.

From 17 years ago and 5 previous owners?! Yeah like I know where that is.

You're an idiot paying for depreciation. Oh and my "shed" will go 120.

Presumably you have to push it off a cliff first though?

As long as your definition of 'always' is 70 years. Fluid couplings had
been used earlier but afaik the Dynaflow was the first to use a torque

A torque converter is a fluid coupling.

In case you hadn't noticed this group is "UK.rec.driving". Have a guess what the UK part means.

Aren't you people trying not to reside in Europe?

If you don't know the difference between the EU and Europe then perhaps don't post on that topic.

No, they are not.

They are gel.

Perhaps look up what road tax allows you to do.

What part of "SHOULD BE MADE illegal" didn't you understand?

Well it won't be made illegal so get over it. What should be made illegal

It's the car that extends their cock size.

No danger of that with yours.
