To be honest I did wonder when I was on motorways but because of the diagnosis I was given and the fact that it was gonna cost so much I thought the tracking was the least of my worries so thought i'd hold onto the pennies and do that later. Little did I know this was the cause of the car giving me sh1te MPG.
Please do remember the car was also driven previously by mechanics on the forum and off the forum so I know I aint that sharp but I would've thought someone getting paid would've noticed this.
Not much you could have done, it's difficult having to rely on other people to diagnose problems. As annoying as this expereince was, if you learn and take something from it, it's not a total loss.
Well, three things to take from this for the future.
1) Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
2) Try the cheapest/easiest fixes first.
3) With a problem, the solution will depend who you take it to (and they aren't always fully honest).
