Sorry to write that the mic still not good. If it's plugged into the phone do you have to enable it so it overrides the one in the phone? Picture still wobbly too. Not much progress I'm sorry to say. A magnetic mount would be useful for shots like the dipstick check.
You’re spot on re the mic. In the “moving” part of the film I was experimenting with a new mic position, as suggested to me elsewhere. It was clipped to the sun visor. By the end of the film (at the traffic lights) I’d moved it back and the sound is definitely better. Oddly it didn’t sound too bad on the laptop, but when I’ve just watched it on the TV it’s definitely bad! No idea why the camera bounce set in, anti shake couldn’t correct it. Thanks as ever for your constructive comments, hopefully you’ll see an improvement in parts 2, 3 and 4 when they get finished off over the next few days 👍🏻

I wouldn't 'gauge' a range of 200 miles on a tank - maybe drop it down a bit to 175, as you may well (and should be) flogging the engine a bit
Wise words! Thanks 👍🏻
