I've seen that Andy, but that doesn't give a reason in my case why it didn't used to do it for the first 5 years plus of ownership, but I have another problem now in that the Fan isn't kicking in so I won't post further on Schoppa's thread.. I commented as I've seen Brians technical description for it (the normal Hot weather/traffic syndrome) and whilst I would never question Brian's knowledge in the slightest, I have zero Car knowledge, However as an Engineer, I'm inquisitive to find out why this should start happening to a car that has previously not suffered?
My own car had never suffered for years of ownership, I had one incident, looked here and found Brian's equivalent statement in another thread, never had another incident...
I've recently started getting it the last two summers, and now have similar symptoms that are obviously related to another fault, SO my comment was really why would it start happening to a previously unaffected car? (my current predicament aside as thats different affecting in cold weather as well and one for another thread.)

Umm. I have been lucky it has never happened to me.
I did remove mine within a couple of weeks of ownership but that was due to it dropping onto the engine.
There were 5 of us in the 35 degrees of Croatia and it did not happen to any of us, even after 2 days where the cars were parked up in the heat outside the hotel.
Maybe it is a drop in fuel pressure due to age or a very small hole in the system that is too small to allow the fuel to leak. (Just a complete guess)

(cool thanks Herman, dropping back from WYSIWYG editor has indeed allowed me to quote again )
Kind of my theory Andy... something must be changing/degrading/wearing out?? I have separate issue now anyway, but am still interested in the resolution to the more general issue.

Mine has also only just started doing it this summer. the only thing that has changed is that my cooling fan no longer runs on full speed all the time.

Do things run hotter due to the changes in fuel supplied at the pump now?
