But my vacation was excellent. Driven over 7500km in a month (a little under 5000 miles). Ran fine, starts fine, stops fine. Average consumption 1.16 liters pr. 10 km. Final strech of 150 miles was done with a 27.2MPG/1.02 liter pr.10km comsumption at a steady 80-90km/h (50-55mph). Seems to run cheapest between those speeds.
Saw about 5 E32s throughout Sweden. One black way up north by Vitangi, a couple between Töre and Sundsvall, and a few in the south. So if you saw a Kashmir Beige 750iL in the opposite direction during tuesday through saturday, it was me ;) (in a another Swedish E32).
One Y-vacuum joint was found broken off. I had out both windowcleaner tanks to fix a stuck valve between them and just happened to see the two return fuel/vacuum lines from the DKs had snapped of the common line into the big round cylinder under the main cleaner tank. This made the car make a knocking sound when heated up. The two valves open/close at a ratio when the engine is heated up allowing vacuum or something to escape. No fuel smell though.
Also spoted my oil leak. A leaking crankcase gasket on the right bank at the rear drops a few drops of oil that sometimes hit the exhaust making a cloud of smoke :)
And I fixed my centerconsole woodpanel. Also made a new gearlever strip of thin plastic with fabric covering. Pictures will follow on my website. Gonna upload some of the new transmission articles I wrote on holiday. Thanks to Henkka for assistance.
Tomorrow I´m gonna get my DK-seals and new VCVs and get an appointment to change the trans speed sensor.
It´s good to be back!!
