Last time I checked the oil level was fine - although it was a few months ago, must check later on today.
If the varitor is worn, how badly is my engine screwed up ??
These faults didn't happen all at once, but over a period of 10 months. So I got them fixed as they came. The only issues really outstanding now is the dashboard creaking and the instruments panel sounding like a 'bag of marbles'. Dealer had the dash out at least 3 times and it's now worse then ever.
I don't care now though, as I will be collecting my 156 this Sat.
2 questions though :
1. Should I expect the infamous centre airvent rattle.
2. Local tyre dealer has agreed to swap the Pirelli P6000 185/65/15's for Continental 205/60/15's for 100 Euros. Is this worth it ?
If you've driven a 156 with 185/65s on and thought it felt ok then I'd stick with 'em until they need changing. Personally I wouldn't want to risk a tyre dealer naffing up my brand new alloys so early in the car's life. In my experience P6000s wear pretty quickly anyway. Thats what I did and went onto 205/60s afterwards.
