Hi again,
had my rover diesel connoiseur se now for a week and love it. checked plenum drains all dry and clear. drivers door card was loose, now re-fitted with new clips, rear nearside footwell found to be wet, on removing rear seat found two large puddles of water under there and wet foam insulation, checked sunroof drains and found three leaking into car, these fixed.
Nothing on engine has yet been checked except levels, had a run today on motorway and found fuel consumption to be high at 33 mpg on computer.
Temp gauge never went up over the 7 o clock mark, will this affect fuel consumption?, [ I have ordered an inline thermostat ].
