Lenny Levorg has now covered 12000 miles and is just coming up to 2 years old.
As I expected there were no dramas over the last year, except whilst touring in the north east and then on my way back to Leeds, the tyre pressure warning lamp came on. I checked the tyres when I got home and my rear nearside tyre was low on air; I pumped it up, and as it was going in for service a couple of days later, I pumped it up every day. The guys at the dealer examined the tyre and found I had not one but three large nails in it! There was nothing else to do but replace the tyre. Subaru have use an unusual size on the Levorg and it's hard to find. However, the guys at the Subaru dealer in Leeds sourced an identical tyre of the same make - Dunlop, and the eye-watering price came to £229 fitted including VAT and disposal of the old one! That would make it almost £1000 to replace all four; I was a little shocked at the price, but a check online for this particular tyre revealed it really can't be bought much cheaper anywhere.
The car still makes me smile when I drive it and I love it!

Lenny the Levorg is now just over one year old and has done 7000 miles. He went into the dealer here in Leeds for his first service. I had nothing to report and no warranty work. The service was done whilst I relaxed in the showroom drinking coffee. There was an update to ECU software - and this was installed at the same time. He's all set now for another year of fantastic motoring - my love affair with the Levorg continues.
