Thanks for your replies and comments. I would be pleased to know more about the meeting place and dates etc. I don't think I am aslow driver but to acheive better MPG than the quoted figure by starting off progresivly and only using the brakes as a last resort. I try to keep my speed to between 65 and 70 for the best results. With the increased fuel costings mototing can cost you less if one gets better MPG by driving in a more economical way, every time the brakes are used one is wasting fuel! I was interested to read Ian's note on oil changes. I changed mine on the C5 and the Picassos. The C5 bottom cover was a swine taking 17 fixings to remove! can you tell me Ian how the bottom cover is removed and regarding the filter can you say if the new filter element is placed in to the cap first and then applied to the aluminium filter housing or is the filter element applied to the housing first. I do intend to change my oil at 3000 miles to a full synthetic. The other question I would like to ask is how on earth do you get to the air and cabin filter? Is the fuel filter a throw away type? Your comments would be appreciated. Thank you again Ian and Wozza for your comments Jack
