Which oil then?

Need to top up my oil (yes, I know where it goes!

)

What's best to put in? 10/40 semi or fully synthetic?

And best make? Can get Magnatec at trade price if I want.

Thanks!

Hmm...I'm getting a little worried...mine is using more oil than I expected it to.

Due its service in 3K though..will get them to check it out.

mines never really used any oil when running normal

That's the other thing..its not running normal! Hasn't wanted to start a few times, even when the temp was in double figures!

Doesn't feel like its free running sometimes. Been using a Saab convertible instead!

Yes, maybe change of car will be coming sooner rather than later. At least its still under warranty. Only done 12K in it too.

Oh gawd, not good at long waits. 5 weeks for my Puma was bad enough! I was like a kid waiting for Christmas Day!

Still, other cars to consider too, so I won't lose any sleep over it just yet!

Where's my shades..arr..there they are

that's better!

Was it a Â£249 plate as well? Someone's onto a nice little earner

Derek, give it 6 months and they'll be on the used market, guess they'll hold their price until supply catches up with demand. Same way the coupe has gone.

Others under consideration:
TVR Tamora (2 yr old one)
Lotus Elise (Exige looks fun!)

With both those, I'd have to get a daily runaround as well - they'd be more weekend toys.

Wait for the tin top convertible of the BMW 2 series - gives me the 4 seats I could do with. I'm afraid I loved my BMW comfort! But that's at least a year away.

So quite a wide range and not really comparable with each other..just a case of what I personally like.

plate cost Â£499 Ali from DVLA - all new style plates cost at least this. It's the old style plates that were from Â£250.
