Hi All

I have been driving this weekend thru the country and been putting the car thru its paces and noticed that it was sucking in a lot of leaves etc. i.e. when leaves landed on the bonnet, it seemed to be sucked in. @ 150km/h

Does how do I get all that rubbish out? do I need to worry?

many thanks in advance

Hi Nancy - Unfortuantey I don't have the answer to your question but I'm keen to know which streches of road made good M3 drives.

Likewise, I would like to know too. There must be some kind of additional filter in there you can clean. Have you tried lifting the bonnet and having a look beneath the air intake ? Have you RTFM ?

I never RTFM lol!!

The road out from Yarra Junction to Noojee is one of my favourites

It is a personal fave. Amazing how often people don't do it though
