Broke through 5000 miles on the way to work this morning …

Basically problem-free, and perfectly happy with the Automatic transmission.
GBMINI#3 has thrown spurious SES lights a couple of times (a known issue for which there might be a resolution), and early on I had exterior lights problems due to a loose grounding block.
The “normal” cold start issue showed for a while as winter ended (and presumably the gas formulation changed) but seems now to resolve itself over time – thankfully!
Next stop, 10000 …

Whoa! You’d better watch out! At that rate you are going to catch up with me 🙂
I don’t think so … 1000+ on two weekends helped a lot, but is not common. Your weekly average (744 miles!) takes me 2.5 weeks …
