That meant a few holiday trips but a lot of trips for personal work in between whatever break we could afford. So I ended up driving a little more than 20k kms in the past 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Screenshot_20231101_162821_Fuelio.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Screenshot_20231105_234544_Fuelio.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>A little sedate driving these days means the FE has been good.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/IMG_1026.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/IMG_1027.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/IMG_1028.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/IMG_1025.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Screenshot_20231101_161759_Fuelio.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Costs have also increased this year. A clutch overhaul, new front discs (and pads) and an unfortunate untimely tyre replacement. The steering worm shaft and the driver side power window assembly were replaced FOC under extended warranty.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/Screenshot_20231105_235115_Fuelio.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The slight increase in service cost is due to me opting for a 3 prepaid services plan.
