Re: Citrojim's Xantia V6, C1 and Activa Tales
Taking the puddle-jumper for a long run to Somerset tomorrow to give it a good run and to disperse the remaining mayo in the engine.
Poor thing has not had a decent run for months so it's deserving of one...
Mayo already seems to have reduced since the oil change...
I think I'm just going to have to do 2K oil changes in the winter months...

I must say the puddle - jumper went very well on the run down to Somerset this morning.
Found myself doing 90 several times

I believe it has Mark, ran like a little clock all the way back... It does a good 65 in second I find before the rev limiter spoils the fun. I'm wondering what the engine red-lines at now....
I've not looked to see if all the Hellmann's has gone from the cambox but I would assume it has by now as I really pushed the little thing hard on the way home and did it in record time - just under three hours.
Fuel economy was excellent too

I love my little C1

Just checked over the C1 and I find the mayo in the top of the engine is now almost completely gone
