Looks like it will be some time in the first two weeks of November as that is when OH has booked holiday. |

We have owned two cars in the past with battery problems. In both case the battery kept running down unexpectedly and the garage were unable to offer an explanation, other than the battery might need replacing. |

In my youth we used to call a good high speed run to blow out the soot "An Italian tune-up". |

I remember reading the car mags from the time and they suggested that a good blast was a run from Apex Corner to Watford Gap Services. |

I had a Ford Capri 1600 GT Auto for a time and was often doing jobs in the Huddersfield/Bolton/Liverpool areas, traveling up from Essex. |

sounds ok but will do no good at all and very likely damage except for pre 1980. |

How about a run down to Canterbury or up to Bluewater? There should be some sections of the M2 where you could get it up to 50 or 60, even 70 on a ‘good’ day! |
