I dont know how you do it.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.  |

you are correct tank holds 17litres so when I topped up to my reckoning I will not be too low . So my theory is as I thought driving through rain water has knackered the nox sensor .Its not a job I would attempt unless I had it up on a ramp as the force the job requires would be hazardous on axle stands

Nice result mate.
Have to admit, MOTs always worry me. Even though I do about the same mileage as you. I can feel your relief…!!  |

The ole girl passed again. 2.5V6 CDX Manual MFL - Velvet Green - 2000 V Plate. Good for another year
 I'll put some new pics up when the weather better - Can't take her out from under the blanket and warm garage now can I  A massive 1080 miles last year. I do have one Gremlin on the Radio - Noticed when turn volume down it seemed to insist on just turning it up instead !! Assume sticky contact on rotary wheel ? Original Phillips unit and 6 CD Boot changer. Not sure if fixable with squirt of some contact cleaner  ??MOT man confessed he went to turn it down and deafened himself !! Steering controls all work fine.Happy motoring all. Andy, |

I got two racks of little Really Useful Boxes for the same reason.
Unfortunately as I bought it as a partly deconstructed project I still have a Quality Street tub labelled " assorted"  |

The Dymo was my best purchase before stripping out the whole car, closely followed by a bulk buy of Ikea sandwich bags in every size they did. As soon as anything got removed, the loom got a label and the bolts or whatever went into a bag - labelled with a Sharpie. Even a few weeks later I'd have been struggling to remember what some of the stuff was, never mind five years later as it is now Cheers, Stu |

I no longer look at the pump when filling the 530D until it clicks, then I play the 'land on a .00 number' game

..... 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 |
