@RRSTDV8 Yes there's been a change in habits and circumstances over time. In summary:

- I'm now using the car on different (poorer quality) roads including a little more off-road (track) usage.

- There's a LOT less motorway driving than before - hardly any!

- I'm more conscious of the weather conditions having been here for a while now. Our climate is roughly 8-9 months warm / hot dry sun; and 3-4 months of very heavy rain, with a little snow on the highest points around us. Barrie.
2005 RRS 2.7TDV6 from 2017 -2024. Best car I ever had.
