I did 4 miles home from unit and 4 miles up to unit this morning, should be okay to be honest I kept it below 50mph, changed tyres so iv 4 new matching goodyears on now and spares the correct size,
Went upto Inverness for the day after fitting and im home now 200 miles after fitting the tyres no noises or anything
 
Took the dehumidifier out (we still haven't had a chance to trace and sort the seep in from the roof / windscreen area) and took him for his first spin since the MOT. Lovely to be wafting again, smooth and comfortable. Even popped to height after only a few hundred yards instead of over a mile after standing before, but did sound like the compressor was running too often so really must get the rear airbags done ASAP. Got some time off after Christmas - just hope the weather gives me some break then too as have to do it outside.
 
Today I started up my recent P38 purchase, a 99 Autobiogaphy that came with a factory winch and brush bar installation. I plan to swap this onto my offroader and then sell it although it is so nice I am tempted to kept it. Anyways, when I bought it there was a misfire on cylinder 7. Changing plugs and wires made no improvement so my brother and I replaced the cylinder 7 injector and also swapped in known good coils. Been sitting a few weeks while we took our time working on it but it started right up and my Hawkeye detects no misfire so I am pleased.
 
Another 40ish miles of enjoyable wafting. Now parked up with a full tank to minimise condensation into the fuel. Unless I forgot one of the little top ups over the last 6 weeks or so, then on just over 625 gentle and steady miles he's averaged almost 23.5mpg which seems optimistic. I think I must have missed one. Still would be 18.3 (seems more likely) or just over 20, which I would be very happy with.

One of my P38 diesels has averaged 24mpg on brim to brim checks for the last 13 years, the other drinks a bit more but is averaging 22.5mpg. The first one gets close to 30mpg on long runs sticking to the 80 or 90kph speed limits.:D
 
seen a few videos about folks getting locked out of an L322 with superlock and flat battery/key sync problems, coming up with all sorts of ways of getting into the car.. why do they not use the key blade in the physical lock? are they forgetting about it? the physical key overrides superlock

Otto is a 4.0 petrol, so I'm sure I have forgotten a splash of fuel at some point. Cruising at 60ish on the long motorway run back from London to Wakefield and the crappy weather slow run down to London before he was giving around 24-25 mpg it appeared. That's why I don't believe the 23.5 with shorter runs since.

The easiest way is to put a jump pack onto the starter wires. :cool: it depends on whether the locks have been faffed with. :)
