Given that the Polo is (finally) coming off the road for some much needed TLC and having serviced the Seven yesterday in anticipation of it being pressed into being my 'daily driver' fro at least the next couple of weeks, I took FG over the Berwyns on the 26 mile round trip to feed the horses and my friend's sheep. Of course, Llew, the motoring dog came too.
It has been a long time coming, having spent some time since I have had the car in chasing silly (and not so silly!) niggles ,but the little car now appears to be completely reliable, wghich is just as well as it is going to have to do about 200 miles a week. There are still oil leaks from the nearside rear and offside front of the block to crankcase joint, but remembering RR's recent mishap that looks as if it is going to be quite expensive, I have left well alone and I can live with oil consumption in the region of 1500 mpg.
