Mike5483 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Hi Everybody!!!. Just been away for two weeks in Spain, to the Costa Brava (or as I like to now call it, Spains Big Building Site!!!) Had a great time. The weather was absolutley gorgeous for 2 weeks solid, so that was lucky. Had a really lovely Villa which had a massive pool which was really welcoming during the heat of mid day. 9 of us drove down in 3 cars, I took the C4 and it did really well. The seats were tremendously comfortable and the car in general felt comfy, quiet, safe, solid and it felt like it could go on forever!!! Oh, and I now love cruise control!!! Some little niggly things which have occured though, the aircon compressor has started to whine, and the rear suspension has started to graunch under compression and clonk. So, they can have a look at that for me. Also, Some of the heat shielding/sound proofing in the engine bay has come loose. Looks like a clip has dropped out. Anyway, a grand distance of 2031 miles were covered. I now have very nearly 24000 on the clock, the car was registered in April 05... so its had a fair amount of use!!! A total average of 38.6 MPG was achieved, but on the way down I was averageing nearly 43 MPG. Not too bad then for a 2.0 litre petrol doing 70-80MPH Traffic round town was very stop start due to loads of urbanisation work, this accounts for the drop off. Anyway, whats been going on here???

Stuey Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 glad you had a good time mate!! we have had an influx of new members, who are very active which is good to see, other than that not a deal really... Quote
Mike5483 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 Does seem a bit more lively in here, few new names which is always good!!! Quote
Mike5483 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Posted August 14, 2006 Just as a side note, you see loads of C4's in Spain and France, no where near as un-common as in this country. Every other one was a VTS and most were diesel (no spoiler). The car still gets loads of looks in both countries though!!! Quote
Stuey Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 I suppose the C4 is as popular in france as the focus is over here...but spain?? that makes no sense!! Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 my mates over there (in spain) and he said that there were loads over there too! Hope that does not happen over here! I love the exclusivity! :D Quote
Welshguy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Welcome Back! Also, Some of the heat shielding/sound proofing in the engine bay has come loose. Looks like a clip has dropped out. This has happened to me. Easy Peasy to sort out. Your dealership should sort it. Quote
