You see your all getting involved with it, you were much better off with the shoes and the thumb.
Happy Christmas to you all at this time and don't take the monkey.

Off to the garage now for my 4.30 appointment. I'll be back soon to let you all know what happened.

Back. Took 10 minutes. I stood and watched them do it, no leak from the fuel tank. £25 charge. :D

I might raise on a mysterious suspension knock that turns out to be a loose spare wheel.

How's your fuel leak Craig? The one with the V8 soundtrack.....?

Like a totally different car! I'm struggling not to wheel spin away when pulling off even when in W mode..! The ABC is now scarily responsive, the car kept on twitching while driving up the A1 until I realised it was just keeping itself stable.

Recorded 15.3mpg all the way home which I do not think is accurate (the average mpg figure just kept going up regardless of how I drove).

Leaking brake pipes has me all in,,,,,

I'm going for a widthwise crack due to rusted sills, when hitting a speedbump.

I suppose I could go for the good old "nut behind the wheel" problem.

Probably artificially low from idling in the workshop or short test drive. Just reset it and try again.
When I start the 210 it always shows about 16mpg on first start but rises up as I drive it till it usually plateaus about 28-33 (sepending on drive I'm doing).
