Since I upped the grade from 5/30 to 5/40 the consumption has slowed to about 1cm on the dipstick per week, regardless of whether you do 40 or 400 miles! paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 thought it looked familiar, my tame mechanic used to work at s&j motors just round the corner on duke street. He’s since set up on his own out in loanhead, bit of a ball ache to get to but worth it for a trustworthy chap.

puddlethumper Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 On News at 1 the other day there was a piece from Finland where researchers looked into what brand of car the most inconsiderate drivers drove. There are three answers and I expect everyone to get them immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like someone's just paid for an expensive respray on it, the front end panels are fitted back on and it really looks like it only needs bumpers and grill fitting before it's returned to the owner! It's parked outside a bodyshop so I don't think it's been abandoned! Skizzer, HarmonicCheeseburger and Scotball 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Went to the council dump the other day and rescued this: Its a CD30 out of a low spec Vectra or Astra. Don't know if it works. Might try it in the Vectra or other Vauxhall product to see if it works. DVee8, HarmonicCheeseburger, RobT and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
