Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my grandad (also a WW2 veteran) last year as well. It was made a lot easier by the fact that his mind had gone years ago. As strange as it sounds, the guy who did cool stuff with me when I was a kid died years ago and all that was left was his body just going through the motions. Sorry about the dog as well, I've lost 4 dogs in my time and it never gets easier even when they've had a good innings. I prefer dogs to people tbh.....
Wasn't trying to suggest you weren't being helpful btw, just that features and quirks are different things

We lost our dog in January so i know how that sucks, so my thoughts are with you mate.
Thanks all for your support. It's tough now. Was going to avoid the interweb for a bit to avoid any upset, but sods law has played it's part and classically, my car insurance runs out at midnight, hence why i'm on here!
Should be back to my usual controversial contrary self in a few weeks

I sincerely apologise if I did cause any upset as it certainly wasn't intentional, I know sometimes I might sometimes pick on your posts more than others but this wasn't one of those times

My 500 will rev as high as I want to when it's in reverse
While stationary, clutch pressed?
Yep.
I told you my memory wasn't that good
it appears I missed a zero out, lol, should have been 10000km.I think it would have been more sensible for it to carry on "ad infinitum" so that the mpg would reflect the whole of life economy.

I thought T meant that when travelling backwards the revs were limited to 2000rpm.
I also need to read posts properly.

Another quirk I have noticed is that when you have washed and polished the car and cleaned the inside really well it is at least 10% faster and smoother. This is the same with all cars, mind you - but you won't find it in any manual.
