TAPpets...

Is it when its cold Dave?? And what oil you running

 

[LegoHead]

5w40 oil is in their ontop of whatever renault monkeys put in. I think they put the wrong stuff in as it burnt 4 litres in 2000 miles, but has been fine over the last 1000.

I have never heard this before and i have had the car over a year now.
