Motors Chat - Round 7

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 6

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Yeah i'm absolutely delighted with it now to be fair, being able to cruise effortlessly at 120 with little to no noise is a welcome change!

And here's me looking forward to this.

Ah yeah definitely, the trip to college is only 5 miles each way and even work on the weekends is only 10 each way which will probably soon change to 2 each way

I wonder if there's something up, that's causing that low an MPG? Never (in 2.5 years) have I seen that bad!

I'm like yourself now Ded Z, computer is showing 7 MPG right now. Is that how you economy?

Over the 120 miles I did in the mopar, it averaged out at approx 5mpg - is that how you economy!

I know someone going to look at this probably tomorrow. Anything specific to look out for with these yokes? What's that engine like. I know the mileage seems high, assuming that's miles

It was a 30 second hard drive after resetting it, not enough time for the computer to get a somewhat accurate time at all.

Ive had a range of 1800 miles before coming down the sally gap on those trip computers:pac:

Yah it's got a mind of it's own

Hasn't shown up since

I'm getting up half an hour early tomorrow to see if I can avoid the current m50 chaos, it's mental the past few weeks

I'd a colleague getting a lift tonight and as there was a crash on the M1 we came home via Ashbourne, he enjoyed the drive on the twisty road

With a half full tank of petrol the alfa informed me halfway down the M50 on the way to a meeting last week that I'd a range of 1.56 miles left.

I crapped myself, then decided it was dodgy electronics.

And speaking of the M50, curses to the hauliers who doubled my commute time today In two hours my average speed was 12mph

Foxhole Norman - unless you are carrying a slab of concrete in the boot, I'd be worried about that. I get 15mpg in stop-start traffic!

Check your thermostat and mass air flow sensor.

I do a bit on my own 350z. I have an Autoglym Concours kit. She does polish up very well.

Was wondering if I was in your workplace there a few times recently. Maybe just another 350z head, although not too many around.

It only calculated it over a minute or so after I reset it :pac:. It'll be on the daily commute tomorrow so that should show what it's actually doing.

Pity about that f*ckin pump though....

Yeah, Ah sure look sure listen.

The ICS is such a distraction from driving. I'm always like, hmmmm what's the average fuel consumption like now? Lets change to CD5 track 9. I'll just change the temperature to 18ºC :P:D

I averaged 23.4MPG today driving down to Wicklow and back and then to Stillorgan and back at rush hour. Not too bad. Much better than crap oul 50 MPG in the Primera

Just trying to come up with a name for the it at the moment

Transferred the insurance to the 166 this morning. Only €265 more than the Primera. I would consider that fairly good I love my 166. That's all I have to say about it

In other news, we (as in my family) have been plagued with mechanical issues recently. First it was the clutch master cylinder on the Punto, then the power steering pump on the 166, then today the CLK wouldn't start… 5l of petrol sorted it out though :pac::o. That means that I officially won the red light game. I was the last to drive it and it was running fine when I got it home :pac:

These problems came up all together after not having one problem with any of the cars since the clutch went on my Levin back in March. All 7 cars that are on the road had no problems in that time until now. Funny how things come in groups like that.
