put some fuel in :S
last week Gaz did me a full service, changed all oils, took out the paper air filter and re-fitted with a K&N, replaced the standard spark plugs with NGK iridium ones (ouch), replaced power steering aux belt, overhauled brakes etc.
prior to the service I was achieving 28 mpg![:( :(](/media/kunena/emoticons/5.png)
after the changes, the motor's so much more free-reving and responsive but now I'm down to 25 mpg :pinch:
I've a tiny hole in the exhaust pipe section with the cat but now starting to think there must also be a hole in the petrol tank :blink:

Before the cat? that can mess with your O2 sensor readings and cause rich running.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
