Before our water pump failed,the needle sat right on the middle of the gauge but since we had a new pump fitted,the needle stays a little below,not an issue.

Re: just been for a test drive in this

60 mph is around the speed wheel balancing will cause a shudder but the shudder will stay for as long as you maintain that speed.Dark oil suggests it's burning oil.60k with full service history should mean there's not too much to worry about.Warranty should come the car?

Tesco don't manufacture oil,they simply allow their name to be used and,in turn,their reputation.They wouldn't risk that if the oil wasn't what it says on the tin and likely produced by one of the big names.As long as it's fully synthetic,there won't be a problem.
