Yet another puncture.  I'd had a good run for a few months, but thats now 2 in a week.

I'd not had a puncture for years

..... I replaced all 4 tyres on the ML & then got a puncture within a couple of weeks!!!! 

Or recycled prefacelift MV6 wheels. 

Common rails won't run fully dry, they warn, then reduced power, then shut down......the HP pump does not take well running with air in it so they detect rail pressure

Ah, just had phone call. Not to say the tyre has been fixed and its ready to collect.  But that the tyre is fine, but the wheel is shafted.

So need to grab it and take it to the wheel place, who I'm now on first name terms with...

Is it made of chocolate?

Clearly.

all sorted , in the village that I now live in there is 3 repair shops , 2 doing mot,s . each spot did diagnostic tests & each suggested taking it to a Citroen dealer  my nieghbour suggested taking it to a spot 7 mile away & that spot within ten minutes the adblue was reset  Alls good now

I suspect my puncture rate will improve when HS2 is finished cancelled.  Not only are they dropping shit everywhere, but diverting main A roads down single track lanes where you are always having to drive in the hedges and verges to allow lorries coming the other way to pass.

.....
Turns out I had 0.6l left in the tank

I never believe my cars when it tells me I have so much fuel or so many miles left. The Smart will tell me I have 4.0 litres left which should mean there's room for another 31 litres ..... in reality there's room for another 25/26

I used to take the Omega down to zero miles or not much more 

I think with modern diesels they artificailly stop the car before you run out, so save bleeding problems.  With both my petrol dialy Omegas, I knew that getting down to zero was nothing to stress over, and you had a good 5 + miles left.  With the the Jaaaag, I assume the only way the car knows the fuel remaining is via the tank level sensor, so who knows if it starts its protection* shite as soon as it hits 1 or 0 miles range?  Probably one for that nice Mr DTM to confirm?

* It goes into reduced power to warn the driver they have a kilometre to find somewhere safe to stop, then if the driver ignores, will stop the engine.

I dont know how you do it.
Ive had one puncture in the last 20 years ! 

I was gonna say similar, but i don't want to jinx it. 

In my case, working up the road from a Suez "waste transfer site" does it, with every pikey in town driving past shedding things off the side of an overweight Transit Tipper with a bit of OSB ratchet strapped each side so they can overload it even more.
