Kept an eye on the tyre pressures and they're all good, not gone down at all. Very odd! I would've presumed that they would have topped up the tyre pressures when doing my headlight alignment last month, so maybe related? Weird.
Had a trip out to Bamburgh Castle, car is filthier every day...
They can torque up but not be all the way in.
Just looks out to me a little bit, id be removing and redoing imho. Always run a tap down those threads when doing my rear shocks
So going up it's fine but if I lower the speed it cancels itself and just doesn't choose a set speed. Have to then press it on again.
Didn't always do this?
All checked and some suspicious looking parts of the tyre where it is split. Unsure if there's metal in it but I've not had them go down and nothing was shown with the water and washing up liquid test. Will keep an eye on them.
Also developed a knocking noise at low speed and when stationary...
They're very economical. I wasn't on cruise all the way either and was pushing round some winding roads.
Keep on top of precat lambda and tyres pressure and you won't struggle with 40+mpg. I get 30 around town.
The electrical issues may be an earthing problem, have a route around. Unsure how how the linkages are on these kangoos but if they're similar to the clio you can get to the linkages underneath by removing the undertrays. Then try getting gears manually if you can.
Suprised you don't fancy putting in a 1*2 engine, mine gets me 43mpg down the motorway and 30 around town. They're pretty economical engines!
Might be worth joining the kangoo and kubistar owners group on Facebook. Some real helpful people on there. Post some pictures too, has your wife had...
