EVM valve replaced

Done!  Car dropped off in the morning, and ready at the end of the day.  No hassles.

Picked it up... they thoughtfully left the locking wheel nut box on the passenger seat (but I thought they were seized?).  Just to let me know they had taken the wheels off.  So I went in and asked them - how come you managed to get the wheels off?  Easy answer - "we did it as a goodwill gesture".

Straight off thought the car felt smoother.  Plus no clunks or warnings.

Had the car a couple of weeks now since they changed the valve and have noticed heavier fuel consumption.  Seems to be much heavier, needing filled up all the time  :(
