Was out for a short drive this evening, and TBH I cannot state categorically that anything has changed.
The engine fired up as normal, and perhaps it FEELS smoother and more eager, but TBH it's not really quantifiable. Maybe a longer run or two/three and a few fill-ups will make the case.
So far, after 4,600 of ownership, we've done an average of 42.5mpg.
She's done a variety of roads. Some commuting and some longer motorway distances. The roads round here are steep up and down, but before anyone says that ups and downs cancel out, you need to live here in Cornwall before you can see what I mean.
However, 42.5mpg is excellent, and I'm very pleased.
Let's give it another 4,000miles with new plugs and a more long-lived engine, and we'll see if anything improves.
Anyway, thanks for the info about the part numbers.
Regards to all,
Mick.
