Nervous drive

monman · Dec 2nd, 2010, 18:14

Since doing the head on my car I have not really been anywhere to test it, 6 miles here, 10 miles there etc, so I was a bit nervous on taking our first long distance trip.

On Monday (AA membership now in hand) we had to drive to Warwickshire, grandsons 5th birthday, had a nice leisurely drive at 60-65mph stopping at Telford services on the M54 for a drink and a quick check that all was well, the 940 never missed a beat and the temperature gauge never rose above the middle even in queing traffic, so I had no need to worry but that's just me.

So now we are back home after 300+ miles and are happy that the car is now back to normal, car averaged about 27mpg so I can live with that as well.

Correct or you'll do a foggy and snap one of in the head.
