Define correct use?
UK cars have always had 2 x rear fog lights, it's only recently we have seen
cars come with oinly 1 foglight, so we are used to having 2, and why are
most cars still pre-wired for 2.
If you think the use of no fog lights would allow you too see the brake
lights better then you need to re-take your test.
Foglights are there to allow you to see a car further ahead, when the brake
light is on it would normally be too late, especially in fog.

Re: a6
In the states correct use of foglights I believe occurs when visibility is
less than 100 ft. Common sense would dictate their use when you can's
clearly see the car in front at a reasonable distance

Re: a6
You mean oil temperature? There is definitely something wrong if yours is
showing 180 degrees celsius. My temperature meter starts from 60 degrees,
and normal is somewhere around 80 degrees when engine is warm, if I remember
correct. Could the oil temperature sensor be faulty? I don't know where it
gets the reading .
