well during my absence the old girl got MOT'd , cambelt changed, new key cut and programmed all for a very respectable £250.

 it DOES pay to buy the make your garage is after all, Thom, you were right with your advice :afro:

so after nearly 4k, a respectable high 40s mpg is being returned on the daily commute which includes the 3 car challenge  :undecided: :lipsrsealed:

Next up towbar . . . . .
