mainy Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Cheers for the comments guys Its -4 here today and the golf is looking filthy, hopefully it will thaw out for the weekned so I can give her a clean Two Sheds - I only had to wait for a couple of weeks as the car is second hand. It was regd in Feb this year and only had 5K on the clock. Faced with a 5 month wait or a car for 3K less I chose the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invest in a Meguire lamb's wool Mitt and Magnet Cloth....Makes cleaning a joy and rewarding. Only 5K mileage in nearly 9 months?!!! I done 5K in 3 months and I'm not as heavy as some others here!

jason_s Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 just got back from norfolk tonight. was getting to 50 miles left in tank....then 40 then 30 then 20 not a shell station in sight. then just before getting onto M11 there was a bp garage.... against my better judgement i drove in to fill up. no bloody 98 ron available at the station.. bugger !!! i put £7 in to get me home. as red can appreciate this is the first time ive ever put anything other that shell optimax in my car...now 95 in tank. whats worse is im getting my car remapped tomorrow and im worried that it would muck up the tuning if its got any 95 ron in it. i drove like the clappers around my area until i had only 5 miles left in tank and then filled her up at my local station with the good stuff... am happier now... see you tomorrow robin.. i should really go to bed now as im leaving at 6 in the morning...bummer... cant wait for it to all be done..just hope the roads arnt icy for too long so i can try her out properly afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
