That sounds like the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Why would you connect a dump valve to the master cylinder?

Ummm, your joking right. Do people not actually know what stuff does under the bonnet of thier car. Oh yea, we live in a country where 70% of AA call outs are for flat tyres - thats how the can garentee to fix 99% of the cars on the road

And then theres the fact that BP now pay for peoples engines to be drained if the accidently put diesel in thier petrol car. I feel the need for mass gentrification. Anyone with an IQ below 120 should be shot.
On another note, a while ago a scientist actually said on BBC Radio 4 news at 9am that people who have low IQ's should be banned from having children. I agree.

No, no joke, it was in the paper a few days ago. A broadsheet too, not a tabloid!

Good idea on the turbo.
Theres a thread on mig about a guy who let his dad drive his Cavalier Turbo, it over heated so he thought he'd flush the radiator, undid the afm to turbo pipe and stuck the hose pipe in, filled it up with water. Oddly no major damage done!
I wont be shot
The AA couldn't fix my flat tyre at the roadside, no spare

There's no actual benefit on a diesel, just the sound.
