Well, Hilda got picked up promptly at 9:10 this morning. Hope they wash her, she's been a dirty girl.

Just drive more slowly than you usually do, and drive only when you really have to. You'll save a hell of a lot more money doing that than butchering your car. But, I guess that's the wrong answer and you're really just after a few more BHP under the pretext of gaining MPG.

Probably no point in doing it, it'll still be an oil burner. You'll just be filling up the tank a day later than usual, if anything.

Looks like it's run over a pile of scaffolding.

I don't know whether it's just me or something, but when I registered here yesterday, the user name chooser wouldn't let me choose anything. I finally figured out that I was only allowed to choose a user name with three letters (no more, no less). I even tried mashing the keyboard to give a...

I didn't know that. For such a large vehicle, there's not a whole lot of internal storage, end on the new cars...! Apart from door pockets, the reasonable place would be the map pocket. Older cars do have map pockets, don't they??

Good point. They'll be taking a look at it on Thursday, I'll update this with whatever they come back with.

Yep, love the timed heater in the mornings...! :D

Thanks Saint. That sounds entirely reasonable, and exactly the kind of response I was hoping for. I'll keep this off the gripe list for the dealer. Hopefully they can sort out the rest of the issues pretty quick and I'll go on enjoying this beast. Thanks again. PS. Sorry about the crap...

Auto settings. I'm pretty sure that my previous FL2 heated better than this. I'm getting warm air out of the vents, but it's more like wafting than being pushed out with the fans. Also seen that the passenger side of the windscreen demists noticeably quicker than the drivers side, not sure...

Hi guys. New member here, so this is probably a newb question, so feel free to slap me down... After over a year of owning a FL2, I decided it was too small and changed over to a used L322 TDV8 Westminster (62 reg) from a main dealer a couple of weeks ago. Right after getting it, I...
