Immensely relieved that you got the good ship Foxanne back before the full force of Storm Eunice hit. There was a 122mph (196 Km/h) gust of wind at The Needles on the west of the Isle of Wight, the O2 Centre in Greenwich, London had huge chunks of roof panels ripped off, and the church spire in Wells, Somerset blew down. This is very rare over such a wide area of the mainland in Great Britain!

I hope the storm didn't do too much damage to the HubNut holdings. As for oil consumption it may be worth a compression test as that will at least let you know if it's a worn bore issue or possibly the valve stem seals or something else. Take it easy HubNutters and be safe. Now can I justify a Foxanne T shirt so soon after the start of the year, and maybe a new larger mug.
