awhile out shopping, Decided to fill up the V6 with the best 97 octane at B.P. garage.Took 33.67 litres.£61.58. £1.89.9 per litre. At the moment doing 23.7 mpg. This is just Local journey’s. When I was putting Asda fuel in, I was getting a little bit more than 20 mpg using it the same, local journey’s. So although dearer, I am getting around 2.5 mpg more. It also runs better, and starts easier. So not really bothered about the extra cost..

I think I might have solved Mo's lurching problem.
I tightened up a loose throttle cable. Revs still bounce, but I am now convinced that is a sticking idle air control valve issue. I'll try to clean that out today.

Fitted some chrome securing points to the boot floor of the ZTT. Totally pointless, but they do look that bit nicer than the black ones.

Took the Bear out for a 3 figure blast, 69.9 mph, down to Liskeard. Love watching the fuel gauge move almost as quick the car.
