  by the driver's side front tyre) but when I operate either the front or back screenwash nothing happens. There's not even the noise of the pump running.

  , or as if there's a massive flat spot. I can hear and feel the turbo kick in at about 2200rpm, but it feels nothing like it used to...

  . For interest, it does about 40mpg, more on a run, and fuel consumption got worse when the egr valve was changed. I've done an additional oil change between annual services, as it does a lot of short runs. Handling was improved when I had 235/60-16 fitted all round, as was noise in the cabin and grip
