Hope they find you a repair method George, at least this dr is being thorough with the testing so they know exactly where the base lines are to gauge improvements .....

Good morning everyone.
Another shopping day over for the month..
Bunnings was just to get some potting mix for Carol and fluoro tube for one that stopped working.
Terry you are thinking of Ben Lomond and the zigzag road.

Sorry to read you have more health problems Ray...
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Good morning everyone. The man says it might get to 28° today with a high chance of rain. So I had better organise to get the yard mowed.
We went over to Corowa yesty to try and sort out a few things and give the old MiL a change of scenery. It's so hard to organise things if it's all in just one name, not both.
Nothing much else on the agenda yet.
Safe travels everybody, have a top day.

Morning all.

back home for a short stay and then off to the CMCA - Mt Gambier rally. Should be fun catching up with all that I know.

Diesel heater fixed. - replaced the internal control board.
Need to replace a front spring shackle pin cotter pin.
Need to replace the O2 sensor in the fuel mix monitoring system. I hope it's this and not a leaky injector.
Need to sort out the cheap crappy Chinese TPMS. Completely in accurate readings when hot.

And work out what to do with the diff. That can wait until after Oct.

I averaged a whisker over 5kms per litre. Which, interestingly, has been the best fuel economy I've achieved.

781 litres
3944 kms

Do you think replacing the steer tyres and getting an alignment helped with the economy?
I reckon it did when I got the Winny done. It made driving a bit easier IMHO.

I think so Dave. Almost a 10% improvement in economy.

Jon, you must consider that most of the country you have been driving on is flat.

George,

I've been entering the fuel and distance for every fill since Dec, 2018. Prior to the new tyres and alignment, the average was 4.7- 4,6 or there abouts. There has been a noticeable change. Where it continues remains to be seen.

My Isuzu averaged 4.5 towing our Suzuki...and no difference without the car.
