Happy.

Result  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Towed the van from Peebles down to Bury on Wednesday in the high winds, rock steady and returned over 18 mpg at a steady 60 mph, should get a bit more when no wind.

Coming home solo averaged 34 mpg heading East at a steady 77mph, tail wind?, and then 27 mpg for the journey north at 80 mph in very windy conditions.

Had 4 wheel alignment done and two new tyres fitted to front. The alignment was so far out it was not registering on the scale and the tyres had been 'scrubbed' on the inisde. I think they only had about 7K miles on them!

Thats strange that has happened coz those four new alloys and tyres were just put on about two weeks previous to me trading that SC in as i got them from Dan @ duckworths and while they were getting put on i also got National tyres to do an alignment on the car and they were lucky to even have covered 1000 miles since getting put on  ====================================

Strange - I thought that they were pretty new. I only checked them as it seemed to be a bit skitish in the recent wet weather. Found the inside half of tread to be about 1mm off the wear indicator. Anyway, feels better now but has left me with steering wheel slightly off centre!

back on topic, i went through a car wash ,range lovely and clean and then it promptly rained for the rest of the day...  ... - .- -.

Drove home after another night shift and parked on the muddy front lawn.

Woke up had some lovely home cooked grub (toad escaped the hole) and then drove it to work again after popping round to the cleaners to pay them and then thinking, hmm it say a range of 90 miles and is only a few mm above empty... I think i'll chance it till monday last time it was on empty i worked out there was still 15litres left in the tank as it only just took 89litres filled right to the brim of the filler neck!

Fitted a battery isolating switch, now all I have to do is turn a key for the inevitable reset instead of looking out the socket set. Magic.

!

Reset for what? Sorry new to all this

dis-connecting and re-connecting the battery sometimes solves dash errors and other electrical problems.. re-booting the cars ecu system is like re-booting your home computer....normal way to do this is to get the spanners out and take off a battery terminal, N.D.F.I. has bypassed this process by putting a switch inline. ... - .- -.

So is this a bit of a common issue on FF & SS ?
