I'm sorry to hear about Nigel's latest calamity. Hope he treats you a
bit more fairly in future. Best of luck with your move.
Carly's latest trick is blowing pale blue smoke. :-( I immediately
started thinking about piston ring replacement, and honing of cylinder
bores, but my mechanic (bless him) has instead suggested thicker oil!
For the moment I've stuck in some additive, and will see how we get on,
but can anyone confirm or debunk the idea that 15W40 is too thin for
summer driving? The manual seems to suggest that it should be OK,
but...
