Hi Everyone! sorry for the lack of posts, been bouncing around the world again! l'Autre is racking up the miles nicely now, Granted the electrics are being a bit .... well ..... French (sorry! but I just seem to have very bad luck with French made cars and their sparky bits) the driver window has now coughed it last and has had to be jammed up and the control unit removed, the rear wiper is now working on its own personal whim, apart from that its doing great!

I'm get 50+ mpg sat at a speed barely legal in France. During this weekend I carried out a Oil/filters service on it and had it done in under 20mins including jacking time. While i was down there I spotted that it had a full front undertray, in fact it would have been a sub 20min change if I didn't have to fit with a spinning not-so-captive captive nut that the tray fixes to. Oh well thats one less eco mod to do!

at the moment I'm just going to concentrate on fixing the normal issue before I get too entrnched in the mods.

Eco mods/jobs

-After my brother clattered into a curb I'm going to get the tracking checked to make sure it isn't 'parachuting'
-EGR valve clear outpower delivery has gone a bit hit-and-miss which is normally a sign of a sticky EGR so gonna clear that out this weekend.


Economy has dipped recently , but i think thats got something to do with me 'enjoying' the torque that this thing has on tap - more than some US market V8s!
