Plundering North of the Border
« on: 08 August 2010, 21:21:27 »
I went plundering north of the barrier today and got myself a nice 2.2DTi CDX. The wife and I set off at just gone 6.30am and arrived at 11am then realised when we were there that the straps supplied with the dolly were too short so it took hours to find 2 suitable straps. After getting the car loaded we had a nice slow drive back in the sun and stopped off for a bite to eat. I must admit the scots do have some lovely scenery, pity its wasted on you :P ;D



My diesel performed brilliantly, i've not long flushed the rad with Fernox so even with another Omega on the back and some second gear hills the temp didn't go over 92 and ive used just under a full tank to do 519 miles half of which were towing so i'm really pleased ;)

I'm having a spot of bother with the chip, it's got an awful judder at about 1500 rpm which has only started since i've had the chip fitted, but it does make the car more driveable ;)
