What did you do to your X150 today?

'07 NA 82Kmi. Replaced the four O2 sensors with Denso OEM. Noticed an improvement in mileage, but not enough data to measure. My around town has been 10-12 mpg, highway 28-9 mpg. I understand that O2 sensors age, and get "slower" in their response rate curve. As a result, an O2 replacement at higher mileage can make a noticeable difference in mileage, particularly the around town value. Some sources say around 15%, some say as much as 40%. Will report back in a few weeks.
And I used SDD to do a system reset, so the relearn will start with the new sensors.

2010 xkr. The MAFs were removed and cleaned. There is one on each side in front of the front wheel well. Used the whole can on two MAFs. Car running great. Engine light cleared before I got to clearing it with my scanner.
Had the convertible top replaced along with the inner liner. Past owner ruined the liner and the top when replacing the rear window. The rear window section was rubbing against the back top bin were it comes over the pop up roll bar cover. This was cause by the holding straps being stretched out. This was fixed by replacing and doubling up the straps. New top is a GAHH. $1000 on line. GAHH preferred by all shops I talked to.

Thanks for the birthday wishes from the forum. Took my "XKPURR" and my wife on a 30 minute run in the sunshine to my favorite water side restaurant for a superb filet steak and glass of one of the best New Zealand red wines 'Te Mata Awatea ' for my birthday lunch then a leisurely cruise back home. BECAUSE I CAN!!

I just changed my oil!!! Again. Oh, and the filter of course. What a debacle that was though..... I couldn't find my filter wrench so I had to go buy one........ NOBODY within 10 miles even had the right size. I had to order it. That took four hours to arrive.
Well, at least it's done.
AND I only had to try three times to reset the Maintenance Reminder!!!
Castrol Edge and WIX, if anyone cares.

Last weekend, but I took mine to the annual British Car Day here in Oakville Ontario. Great turn out with something like 1200 cars, strategically line up along the shady tree line next to my dad's XK8 and my brother's MGB. Even brought the wife and kids (including a 3 month old). Nice to get back to it after Covid cancelled this event for the previous two years,
