Took a trip up Scotland over the Easter hols for my cousins wed, recorded some milages
235miles to 40 quid at 137.9 which works out at 36.7mpg - 80 miles were A Road blatting, rest was motorway chilling
310miles to 20 quid at 137.9 , 40 quid at 139.9, which works out at 32.6 mpg - 27 miles around Edinburgh city, 235 return leg, driving steady all the way with a couple of full boost a road overtakes, and a 52 mile round trip to work on Monday.
Bits that have been changed recently.
-Cars had another oil and filter change
-new thermostat housing as the old one was leaking slightly (cracked around one of the bolt holes
-replaced lower track control arms, as the ball joints had too much movement, these were fitted with standard bushes. I have the polybushes if required, but they had degraded quite alot, so steering feels tighter without them.
I need to fit the new bootlock and a new drivers door side trim, as the old one was rough
Currently trying to find the source of a rotational noise on the front, next job is to swap out a driveshaft, side by side and check if its a CV joint causing it.
