Had a new water pump under warranty around Christmas, just after a service. Naturally that came with a new timing belt.
Since then, MPG has dropped for 48-50 (on the long average reading) to 42-45. Power seems ever slightly down and there is a distinct vibration, engine speed related, pulling around 1150-1200 rpm in all gears.
All this is compounded by the fact that I had to have 2 new tyres which had to go on instantly at about the same time. Michelin Energy ones weren't available. It was Hobsons choice of 2 Pirellis on the front.
Anything I should be looking at before taking the chance of making myself look like a mammary gland at the dealers??
