No wonder , the spare is under the car !

What happened? There’s always something that keeps you on your toes..

Rear passenger door lock actuator. Pulled it apart and cleaned out the gunk and some bits of the carbon in the main motor, works better but I’ll be ordering a new motor. At least it now can lock and unlock. The assembly has 3 motor, wtf..

During the process, I broke the clips on the external door handle cover, the most stupidest design ever to man kind. I guess I will fleabay this as well.

After an engine ECU reflash and auto ECU reflash a week or so ago, we went for a 580 km sprint this arvo, dangerously under-weight @ only 3.12 tonnes at the end of the journey... I'm pretty pleased!

I would have expected a better figure, i can get down to 8.2 on the lie o meter on my non remapped D3.

That's unreal!

I guess from my perspective we normally run about 11-11.5 so that's a great result yesterday, and I think the usage display is pretty accurate on this run.

It included a couple hrs in the city traffic as well.

We have bigger than stock tyres too.

And I will never win a fuel consumption comp with anyone!

It's probably about a 520 NM tune so it goes ok for a heavy car, my brother has an RRS and we can never match his figures even driving together.

That is because the RRS is Sporty and not a block of white goods like the D3/4

I regularly get 6.5 on the display (7 in real terms) on my BAS mapped Sport

I don’t recall taking that off when doing mine. It was all done from inside the door
