why does that sound familiar in running out of fuel ,
done that and the landy at the time wished to have a holiday whilst going onto a roundabout, awesome was an old series safari that had its own ventilation system in the floors and drank fuel like there was no tomorrow
agree ref the battery pack, bought a clarkes one while back, great life savers,

Never had, don't see the need. Drove the TD5 for over 100,000 miles and it was fine
just so handy to have
this is the one i got
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-js5in1-5-in-1-jump-start/
not sure it's big enough now for my current engine ,
useto always get the diesel plus fuel and did t run nicer, but alas don't know about this engine
seem some also put two stroke in, but never have done that
always stuck to either the plus fuel or millers additive
was tempted by the synergy box again , but this engine has plenty of torque in it, suppose to add at least 10-15 mpg but am happy with the engine the way it is

Every time I add fuel, think I've been to the garage 4 times to top up. I reset the dash read outs.
Majority of the time its reading between 28 - 30 mpg realise its probably less but I'm happy with that.

mines dropped to around 9-10 mpg around town
got to get round to doing the egr blank
after that will get it down the motorway on a good clearout, to clear the cobwebs , injector readings also are fine
has had a full service , with every filter and oil changed , apart from the autobox, will do that myself
no errors on the iid at all, started off doing around the 20s , it just dropped
been reported the egr can really suck the mpg if it's choked up,

No excuse and I quote
Latest figures show there are now 8,455 petrol stations in the UK
(Feel a bit like Thor now :-( )
