My guesses:
1 - Torymidae
2 - Proctotrupidea
3 - Chalcidoidea but not sure which family
4 & 5 - Scelionidae?

Thanks Chris, cthirion and proctoss
I find these tiny wasps fascinating to photograph Smile
Still not sure what the attraction of my car is though unless it just makes them easier to spot. I thought it might be fine aphid honeydew drops from a downwind tree but I checked my wife's car which is similar colour and parked nearer the tree and couldn't see any wasps whilst mine seems to get them every day at the moment between about 10am and 3pm.
Thanks again

Mmm... Brian, maybe you can configure your wife's car to attract tachinids? Wink

Seriously though, colour has been proven to be a major factor in attracting insects. Yellow and white plates are normally used as pan-traps when people want to attract flies or wasps.

Thanks for the info Chris Smile
At the moment the car does seem to attract all sorts of bugs- small flies, psyllids, barklice, wasps and aphids and whilst my car is metallic silver my wifes car has a slight bluish tint to it Smile. Might try putting some coloured place mats on my car and see what the most popular colour is Smile. Anyway- not complaining it makes a great surface for doing fairly high mag shots on Smile
