Title: back off the road trip
Post by: cullygti on 31 May 2012, 14:43
after a week away covering 700 miles of driving got back last night from the lake district as we set off the car looked rather low with a boot full of clothes and 3 children i adjusted the rear coils up by 20mm  :lipsrsealed: and well it was still low even managed to get some decent mpg whilst driving like a fairy and after the map and my calculations it seems that the trip computer isnt really out by much if any thing at all  :smiley:

got some lows
