    I'm working on trying to drop my consumption. But I only drive 12k's each way daily. Have started leaving the A/C off which makes a difference.

    I also have a very short drive generally, and it's through some relatively hilly terrain, which sucks for consumption.

    I've ordered Gruvenparts rear arms for my car, hoping ECS will be shipping them this week.

    Still looking for a set of 8L S3 rims...
    Nothing to see here...

    Short drives mean the engine probably does not get to full temp for long, meaning more fuel is used.

    On saturday I hit a serious strip of potholes, then I heard a strange noise. I thought flat tyre but no. It got louder yesterday, and today it is very well pronounced. I've got vibrations when backing off throttle, weird jerking when accelerating and creaking when going over driveways.
    So I guess the inner CV or tri-star has had it. Also noted LCA bush is flogged.

    Booked in for 2 weeks time, lets hope it holds till then.

    How bad were the potholes? Buckled rim? Dead control arm or wishbone bushes? Just really out of alignment maybe?

    I reckon something gearbox related.

    Speedo has lost the plot. Gonna cost a shed load.

    Maybe I should go run a red light...

    Hopefully just a cv joint and nothing internal.
