Yep mine has the triangle as well but still has the hose on the right side. Not come across any it doesn't work with but google threw up Kia & Honda, I've never driven either.

You hear the word 'Renault' on an advert on the telly, and immediately think of a home renovation rather than a French car

I guess by now that you have all heard about daylight saving fading the curtains, turning cow's milk sour, etc, etc, etc......
Well here is a better one. Went to the Crown Hotel at Lutwyche (Brisbane) this afternoon and ordered 1 pint of Bulmers and 1 pint of coke.....barmaid refused to serve coke in the pint glass.
When asked why, she replied that if they served soft drink in a beer glass and then later served beer in the same glass, the beer would go flat.....
WTF!!!!

It's true Carl, the syrup used to make soft drinks coats the bottom of the glass & normal pub glass washers don't remove it. It stops the glass "working" therefore the beer goes flat. Any decent pub won't serve soft drink in beer glasses.

Excellent barmaid if only they were all like that.

They then need to get whoever does the washing up to scrub harder......
