Hmm, no idea to be honest.  I serviced her in March, and changed the temp sensor.  I thought that had cleared it up.  Was getting alright mpg figures.  Switched back to V power last week and now the mpg is the worst to date.

I really suspect a boost leak,i'll see if Pat is up for testing yours before you go down to the rolling road day.

How are you finding the rear arb?

Cheers mate

It's good, although I think with the car having a howge front ARB, I need the rear on hard to compensate.

She passed her MOT on Tuesday (no advisories at all), another year of happy motoring

I changed the front discs and pads today.  I've never done it before, so was really chuffed with the achievement!    Went really well, took a few hours mind, but I was learning as I went along.  I did manage to scratch one of my wheels though, and one of my ratchet attachment things snapped!!

Look at the old discs, they're a year, maybe a year and a half old.  Rust everywhere, even on the face of the discs, and the edges are so rusted you can brake bits off with your hands!



Not a good shot but the new ones fitted.  Lovely sexy new EBC discs and the new redstuff pads over on the left, matching the callipers nicely.
