Drove to Exeter and back in torrential rain, thank god for Rain Sharks, totally stable all the way, the first ever wobble when hitting a river crossing the road but as always they performed brilliantly

Great news, I've not tested mine properly in the rain yet.

View attachment 50539 I’ll see your 25.4 and raise you- this morning’s recorded fuelling up stats in the CL500.

Nice!

Although on a longer trip to Basingstoke and back - about 80 miles I did get 33.1 mpg but I didn't think to take a snapshot... But I am very light-footed.

They were well tested today, horrendous weather

They are superb tyres. I’ve put them on the R Class for Herself, want to ensure that the wimminz have the safest ride going.

Emily managed to wash a Roadster key a while back ......

It still works (but it did need a little encouragement though)

Mrs LK was very lucky... She lost the other key so it's our only one till she replaces it. If she'd knackered this one as well I'd have been somewhat annoyed....

Might be worth opening and blasting with WD40’s contact cleaner.
One of mine was seriously corroded with sort of white fuzz, Cleaned up beautifully and worked fine afterwards.

Took CL500 for its MOT.
One advisory - rear left tyre getting low at 3.1mm. And rear right at 3.4mm.
I can live with that.
... must check if they have finally released the Goodyear F1 Assy 3 in this size!

Not just me who likes new rubber then...?

Oooo....New rubber Don'tcha just love it?

 

[Jimbo1959]

I wind them till the wheel just locks then back off till it's not binding (a slight rub is ok).
Go for a drive when done and put your hand carefully on the hub. It shouldn't be hot.
I'm not overly bothered by the number of clicks as long as it works without binding.

Fixed that for you Alistair, you know, just incase it is hot

Lucky buddy ! Reminds me of being in the surf in Florida a few years ago , reaching into my swim shorts pocket and finding the hire car key

Quick half hour this afternoon , just whipped out the egr valve and back pressure sensor (om642) for a quick spray clean with carb spray , i do it yearly so there is never much soot on them .

Can you post a pic of their location on the engine please Wighty?

I'd like to check my own and clean it up, if neccessary.

Ta!
