Bmw, now pug 306 related, .)

[lozz]

168 miles on 45 quids worth of petrol

Not the car's fault that you only bought a teaspoonful of fuel - fecking fuel duty is taking the piss!

Yeah very true mate,

petrol prices do take the p%ss

There was meant to be a massive fuel price increase here on new year's but the government relented and lumped tax onto luxuries like bread and milk instead

Atm its hard to work the Mpg out on this pug,

one minute the fuel gauge can be showing the fuel warning light, and then it will creep back up to just under half a tank,

got these Areo blades from asda's 7 quid each........

Couldn't find none. (waited too long, I guess).

The fuel gauge on my Xsara appeared completely random, until I sussed that they'd done the damping in software, so it paid MUCH more attention to the initial reading when turning the key on, then took forever to sort itself out if it had been parked on a slope.

yeah same thing is happening with this 306
its the inclines/slopes sending the fuel sender haywire,

So much for Service bo'x im sure it said it sposed to have em, Iwonder what else is missing

The 306 is finnished other than the air con to top up its faultless,
Might look for abit more power tho (ecu-chip/ Mapp ??) the 1.6 seems abit gutless Hill climbs, on the flats its good enough,

today igot the track rods fitted, and jet washed the wheel arches and floor, got the original colour of the car under there now instead of Mud & grime,
just need to copper grease the brake pipes,

[lozz]

Time flys lol,

Just run up 4 k on the miles today

Not bad me thinks as I bought it originally as a throw away car,


Next job project saxo.
