Did 600mile trip to france today with the car loaded to the brim, it was riding so low the bilsteins looked basically bottomed out at the rear constantly. Far from ideal but we had so much heavy stuff to take that this was the only option.
There was me and my girlfriend and at least 400kg luggage in the back and 200kg on the roof bars as well as half a tank of petrol and the 90l LPG brimmed.
It still pulled like a train though!!

Anyway, all the motorway driving seamed to make the oil leak creep its way back on the the cats which where smoking mildly when stationary after a long stint.
Seamed ok though but i was a bit concerned every time I stopped to pay the toll fees and saw smoke coming up the side of the car..
amazing what a tiny leak can do in the long run.
Hopefully it won't get any worse.
