Miggy Elite.
« on: 20 May 2008, 20:54:03 »
Not even had a wash, have owned it for just over 3 weeks and drove it for the very 1st time today.

3 Weeks of dirt, so dont expect much.

Small dent appeared joust above front bumper on wing whilst stood, apert from that not found any issues on body work as yet, but the car is totally loppy.

It's been sat in a garage for about 4 months and then I left it oustside for three weeks.

Not sure if the battery is 100% so far, but no big deal.

Brakes had some surface rust on them so may have affected the perforformance , so might replace the disk/pads rather than just the pads.

Remote doent seem as good as the GLS, can normally point it through the window at my mates to lock/unlock the car (no probs with GLS) but had to put key to my head as an amplifier to get it to work for unlock/lock.  Will replace betties in remote to see if it improves it.

Got a slight sticky headlamp washer (didnt know they actually poped out to spray water untill today)

Everything works perfactly so far other than a bulb has gone on the climate.

Had a play with the cruise.  Totally level motorway  saw 37/44 mpg for quite a while and averaged out over the run at 29 mpg @ 70 mph.

Run home through the countryside cruise set at 60 for the bits I could use it, saw an average speed of 35 mph @27.4 mpg.

Considering it was a combination of uphill/downhill and the odd play with the kick down and all with the aircon on then all I can say is I am well chuffed..

Haha

Will try, it's been parked there since I took the photo, went out to go for a spin in in and found the battery is a duffer.

Earliest chance I will get to sort it will be tomorrow, got to play pass the battery with 2 cars and a spare battery.

Also bought a new trailer that I have to pick up tomorrow so will be a busy day.  and that's only if I can be bothered.   :y :y

I have been checking out the history as I only got the service book complete with stamps.

I have been ringing the dealers who serviced it and everything is as I was told it was as I bought it, apart from one thing, the last cam belt change.


The guy I bought it off was very open and honest but said it had had a cam belt change just before he bought it.  As I have scanned through the service book I could'nt find the stamp.  But on checking the service book a second time I found a stamp in the rear section of the book saying the next belt change was at 80,000, the car has been serviced yearly and the 1st belt was done at 43,000 by a dealer.

I have one more number to check and if there was no belt fitted by them then I asume it requires doing.

I think this is confirmed by the old guy who owned it and parted with all the service invoices and the guy that I bought it from and didnt get the service invoices. The fact that the dealer in the middle has chucked the invoices to detract from the cam belt issue.

I will be booking it into a garage soon and will have the cambelt and tensioners replaced, along with the water pump and will suss out what other jobs I can get done to make the job cost effective.

Any advice on work to be done at the time of water pump and cambelt/tensioners change would be much appreciated.
