Default Detailing Product & Total Mileage off First Tank

After putting just the rear number plate holder on and seeing all the old sticky pads and glue residue behind it, I needed to order more Tar & Glue remover as I finished the Car Chem bottle getting almost all the tar and glue off the cars body work.

I opted for some by GTechniq.



I was already aware of this brand and had heard good things, so after a quick search on Amazon and this being one of the top results, I thought I'd give it a go. Can't complain for under £10 delivered.

So that's me well armed for when the insurance claim etc. is finished and I can put my personal registration onto Blue.

Also tonight, Blue got down to 75 miles to an empty tank and the light came on. Thought it was a good idea to put some in, so only put £20 in for now as I'm going to Ray Chapman's on Tuesday again, so will brim the tank then before I set off.

So, from last Tuesday when I went to York, up until tonight I got the below on a full tank, taking it fairly easy and changing gear when indicated to on the dash.

510 miles plus a bit more if I pushed it to a full tank!!???!! WOW!!



My V50 D2 didn't get that much.

Overall average miles per gallon was;



48mpg - happy with that and an average speed of 36mph.

Further updates will come next week now after I've been to Volvo for the brake fluid change.

Still waiting on a prancing moose badge/sticker, a keyring, a set of mud flaps and the glossy black lettering from AliExpress.
