Fed up at staring at glass panel all day, I decided to go up to storage and check out the B.
Oil level was at the minimum mark. Would love to know where it's disappearing to.
Oil tray showed the usual leaks this has but certainly not the half litre that is missing.
Radiator seems to have a mystery leak when the car is sat. I've got a replacement in a box at home waiting till I get around to fitting it. This is never been serious enough for me to prioritise it.
Especially as the level doesn't seem to drop.
The battery charger keeps showing this error. Apparently it is indicating it isn't able to hold its charge after finishing the charge cycle. Given I've flattened this pack half a dozen times, it's no surprise that it's a bit ropey now. A replacement battery has already arrived from Tayna to go in when I have it back home next.
Also did the obligatory start up video complete with waffle about oil pressure. TL;DW only 40psi on startup, after drive it got to 50psi at idle but dropped when driven.
Thought I'd give this a run round on the back lanes to get everything moving. I'm lucky as storage is on roads that don't get gritted.
Have a picture of a muddy puddle.
