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???

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!!!

This has happened to me. Easy Peasy to sort out. Your dealership should sort it.
