    I am definitely going to take it in and tell them the problem.. will be worth it.. it is a great looking, and reliable car!

    I read that using the more expensive petrol can be better for MPG?

    In my experience the more expensive petrol makes little or no difference in the average car. Best to stick with the normal stuff.

    Bear in mind it's also a convertible, with the top down it will use a lot more juice than the saloon version, and even with the ragtop up it is still less aerodynamic and will use a little more;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Indeed, as well as being heavier to accomodate the additional floor strengthening to compensate for the lack of the normal roof.
