Hi Folks
Purchased Mandy, a 51 Plate ELX in August last year and many of you may recall I had a few "teething troubles" with it
Well, here we are nearly a year later and I still have the misfire and of late she's taking three of four turns to start in a morning (don't we all lol) she's fine afterwards, apart from that, I still think she's the best car I've had, fun to drive and so practical
Put her in for MOT in March, I knew I had a broken coil spring and not having a great deal of funding, I used the garage that we use at work with a view to paying the bill through my wages, what a mistake that was, cost me £1300,
They replaced all the brakes, drums, disks, pads etc, although she didn't fail on the brakes, as you can imagine, she won't be going back there!!!!
And now on to a good note, had occasion to take a trip to Leeds last weekend, a round trip of around 170 miles, drove at a steady 60 mph, I'm not one to speed around (not that you can in a Multi) and I had a reading of 36.3 mpg on the dash readout, well chuffed with that, she normally reads 24.5mpg around the town
All in all, looking forward to the next years' motoring
Finally, I recently had the external filter cover pinched, what makes the situation worse is that the chances are it was by a "fellow" Multipla owner, unfortunately, we don't get many in the breakers yards around here
Regards
