Trip 15: Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough. Our trip to Scarborough was fairly straight forward although the road works on the A1 still added 25 minutes onto the journey. The one thing I was worried about was the final part of the trip up onto Oliver’s Mount. The route uses part of the Oliver’s Mount motor racing …
Airbag Issues
In April the airbag warning light came on and it would not go off so the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) was sent off to be reset at a firm in Liverpool, Crash Data.co.uk. It came back in 3 days and I refitted it and everything has been working. However on our last trip we were …
