I always do my checks in the morning before starting the engine. It makes it much easier to get an accurate reading without it smearing all over the dipstick shaft. I'm not too sure what the difference is, if my memory serves me right from a previous convo I'm sure it was 1litre or thereabouts. I usually top up about 250ml after every tank. It's not always as much as that but depends on how I have been driving. I'm sure the like of alex or that will be able to confirm it as they're very experience in the art of zed isnt that a tad much oil?

anyone know these roads? Great Driving Roads : Wales Fforest Fawr : Map The only road here that is located in South Wales, the Fforest Fawr road, or A4069, connects Brynamman with Llangadog via the Black Mountain. The sections across the open mountain are nothing short of breathtaking. Tight turns, good visibility and surface, stunning views and the odd wandering sheep make for one of the best drives Wales. The desent heading North is a brake tester, so make sure you don't have pads that fade easily! Llyn Brianne : Map 1 : Map 2 : Map 3 : Pic For the fearless this is about as good as it gets, but the single track mountain roads around Llyn Brianne can fight back. The network of lanes include forested twisties, sweeping open cliff-huggers and two notable sequences of hairpins. One of these is named the Devil's Staircase, and if you are anything less than extremely alert, will bite great chunks out of your car. A fabulous thrill, but watch for tourists, sheep and farm vehicles. Elan Valley : Map 1 : Map 2 : Pic Further North from Llyn Brianne, the Elan Valley road also crosses the heart of Wales along a mountainous route. This is a much less demanding route, although many sections are still single track and accidents seem all too frequent. Highlights include the echoes from the cliff sides and the short squirts along the Elan Valley itself. You can do the two above routes as a loop including lunch in Tregaron or Devil's Bridge. Pass of Llanberis : Map : Pic The passes in Snowdonia are all scenic and thrilling to drive. The pick of the bunch is the Pass of Llanberis. This is a busy road, with stone walls, caravans, walkers and narrow lanes. Consideration for the other users of the road must be a priority but this is a top rate scuttle if you get a clear run. Similar thrills are present over a proportion of the nearby Glyders road, and whilst in the area, try the two great roads below. B4407 : Map : Pic My favourite open moorland road in Wales is the B4407 that connects Ysbyty Ifan with Ffestiniog. The route is partly single track and has several dramatic humps that will cause light cars to jump. The corners ore especially tricky, with a couple located on narrow bridges. A543 & Mynydd Hiraethog : Map 1 : Map 2 : Pic The moorland road across Mynydd Hiraethog is a series of sweeping bends and fast straights with a number of exhilarating twists in drainage dips. There are two roads that form the sides of a triangle up from the A5 at either Pentrefoelas or Cerrigydrudion. It's not an especially technical challenge for the most part, although you must be careful that nothing is hiding in the dips. Becuase of the variety of challenges and the light traffic, this is a favourite of mine and many of my friends. Berwyn : Map 1 : Map 2 Connecting Welshpool with Bala, the A490 joins the B4391 to cross the Berwyn mountain. This road is quite simply a corker! After a few scenic villages with great valley and mountain views the road rises to wiggle across the mountain along the boundary of Snowdonia National Park. Sweeping bends, dips and distracting drops fill the highland section before a descent through farmland and woods. A44 : Map Forming the main route East-West across mid Wales, the A44 offers great scenery, thrilling corners and in season annoying traffic jams. The route includes a scenic section along Plynlimon Fawr with good visibility and monster hairpins. This is most challenging section althoug the road remains a good one for many miles as it heads East towards England. Wye Valley Finding this road empty enough to enjoy is very rare. You will need to be an insomniac or very lucky, but if you do get a clear run, then the complex sequences of corners are as rewarding as they are entertaining. The route connects Chepstow with Monmouth. -

I wasn't planning on it, but it would be nice to go for a run on some proper roads and meet a few of ya. I'll have a word with the missus when I get home at the end of the week. I might be able to swing 1 night/day. She doesn't mind a drive out and I know she'll love the scenery, food and drink, but a weekend of just cars isn't her thing. many girls think the same what is this wales thing? Is it on this weekend?
