Last night it seemed to have become a coffee machine, and was making Cortado at an alarming rate..

It was totally empty. Looks like higher RPM causing the issue for 2 reasons:

1. The road home on Thursday was over the hill on the backroad - a no mercy blast utilising whatever the wee tub could give. Plenty time in 2/3/4 at high rpm (3000-4000). It took 25 miles to get the level warning on.

2. When refilling and bleeding, I ran the engine at 2500rpm for a minute with no load. This was the result:



made it do it's best Daniella Westbrook impression



And topped it up whilst using the bleed screw and squeezing pipes.

Then to bed for 4 hrs sleep.

Up at 3.30am

Drove Aldi to airport at max 2200rpm (60mph)

Despite being the most boring trip of evar, it made it without any

BEEEP RED COOLANT LEVEL WARNING*
so now it is time for me to consume beer at a similar rate to the a2's coolant consumption.
