What are you all up to today? - part 3

I think it's generally accepted now that there's no need to put miles on the clock before towing. LR don't stipulate it these days. If in doubt, consult the handbook.

I don't have the handbook, as we don't get the vehicle till Sept, or I would do that. I thought that there was no longer any need to run the car in, as we used to have to do, but it's better to check with those who have a similar car.

Of course it is, Nellie. Why not ring the dealership and have a chat with a technician or service manager? 

Sell, re van weights, ours is not much heavier than your so hopefully we'll attain similar fuel consumption as yourself.

Write your comments here...Guess it will be a little bit less as you have gone for the auto.

We will find out in due course. How much milage did you put in before towing for the first time with the D4?

Write your comments here...Was approx 800 miles, no reason for this it was just the first opportunity we got due to work, are you going for the volvo fitted towbar or are you sorting your self with a independant fitter ? i went for the Volvo detachable.

Same here. We are taking the benefit of the 10% discount offered for being a CC member., did you?

We got something over 20% off ours.......but I guess you have to do the best deal you can at the time.

Will do.

Well Malcolm, I tried to get you your own thread to post on, but it got taken over by some others being rude and then got closed.

Sorry mate.

Anyway, on the plus side, it looks like you are free to post on here again......tell us about your day, mate 

We went for a walk this morning, then this afternoon we went to Sudeley Castle.

Arrived in sunshine, left in rain. The story of this week......

Made  arrangements  for  repairs  to  campers  fridge  this  morning !  At  least  I  got  in  sooner  than  at  Doctor's  Surgery  and  he  actually  asked  me  to  make  an  appointment  but  it  will  be  mid-August  at  the  earliest  before  I  can  get  in  there    !

Then  Weekly  visit  to  Aged  Sister  and  she's  dead  chuffed  !! Been  visited  by  some  local  Council  bods  &  such  --  now  she's  got  a  new  stair  lift,  help  with  some  of  this,  some  of  that  --  scary  this  is.  The  only  one  not  'appy  is  her  moggy  with  all these  strange  folks  pinching  his  seat  !  At  least  she  got  a  nice  new  Pond  in  her  garden  --  but  that  was  just  the  result  of  rather  a  little  excessive  shower.  Gawd  Knows  Cheshire  should  be  sinking  'cos  the  underlying  salt  must  be  dissolving  faster  than  I  can  "one-finger  type".

Harwell,  bed-time  calls  so  be  nice  to  each  other,  please.    Good  Night,

Brian  A B M

Write your comments here...Nellie i will check my manual tomorrow and see if there is anything mention in it.

I dont have a problem with getting rid of the star system. Would be nice though to reach 5 reds before it happens (lol)

... I've been on 4 reds for ever 

Write your comments here...Same here Tammygirl, mind you i guess i only do about 10 posts a week if i am lucky will be a long time before i get to 5, definately not star chasing lol
