| Haven't drive the D3 for over two months... |
|
...had a promotion at work so got a company car and a fuel card (can't fill up the D3 on it though!). The D3 spent the first 6 weeks sitting in the yard at work, then my brother picked it up and took it home. My Mrs then used it once for a shopping trip and it has since sat dormant.
However, got two trips in the D3 coming up; first is driving to the Czech Republic for a pre-wedding party before my wedding in August, I get back and then three days later drive off to Slovenia for a week of mountain biking with two friends and the Mrs. So very much looking forward to it at the moment!
cheers Alex

If I'd known I was going to be so thirsty this morning I'd have drunk more beer last night.

I'm hoping that we will have another severe winter so I can drive it to and from work as my front wheel drive work car barely pulls itself along in the dry! Am sure it will get filled up regularly then  Alex

Got back last night from an 1800 mile round trip. Off to dealers this morning as tailgate stuck Nd won't open (lucky this happened yesterday morning when 99% of our stuff was inside), cruise control cut out 7 or 8 times and the engine cooling fan ran for 850 miles home.
Any ideas on any of the above? I think tailgate is pretty common.

New tailgate handle, viscous fan and cruise control switches sorted it all out.
