Six months since last post! Life comes at you fast.
Fleet unchanged. Auris and Mitsi take it in turns to take me to work, Mrs P's Suzi racks up the K's and behaves itself so nowt worth mentioning really.
Auris developed a slight whine in sixth at speed but seemed to vary according to road surface. My old Mini did something similar which turned out to by the old tyres falling apart so will get some new boots for it. Falken 310's are available but expensive here, Pirelli Powergy's cheaper but would prefer Falken.
Gave Cheezoid an oil change today. Pretty straightforward after negotiating all the different bolts and clips that hold the undertray on, and managed to finally change the gear oil. It wasnt bad at all but smelt a bit mineraly so I reckon its had the wrong stuff in the box. A nice new batch of synthetic GL4 Nulon and some snake oil additive and we'll see how we go. Brief test drive felt better but may have been psychological.
