Coffee was good not to sure about the...

road down and back up.

Well I've just done a round trip of 498 miles @ an average of 65MPH and computer tells me I got 28.1 to the gallon. I know it's chipped and not accounted for but better than a poke in the eye.

P.S. All of that was for two cups of coffee! But the company I had certainly made up for it.

that was a nice day, very nice to meet you woogoo. shame claw had to spoil it by steeling a glass, but thats him all over..j

Yes, I have to admit it was worth the effort, and good time had I all (I hope).

Sure was, good natter, good company. Still think your a hero Woogoo driving all that way, well done mate.

Nowt to it, the only thing that put a damper on the trip was the rain, apart from that great. Heck I'd even do it again.

He's probably locked in his garage trying to get a supercharged Rangie grill to fit it.

he not got anything to say for himself, so i conclude he is guilty of everything we have said about him. did you see that kid crying when he took her balloon of her, bad bad man..

I know it was shameful, considering the little girl only came up to ask him if Shrek was his cousin.

I know it's a bit off topic, but is that a good MPG??

Is that petrol or diesel?

Diesel, chipped so I'd reckon you can minus that by 3 so 25 to gallon in real terms, I'd say it was very good considering the average speed was 65. But others may think / say otherwise.

OK, cheers for the reply. I was only asking as I have just installed one of those K&N air filters and I have found a huge difference.

She used to do around 20MPG (14.2 L/100Km) urban and about 25MPG (11.3 L/100Km) on a motor-way run (avg 105Kmph).

Now she is doing just under 28MPG (10 L/100Km) urban and around 30MPG (9.4 L/100Km) on a motor-way run (avg 105Kmph) and even less on "A" roads (33MPG @ an avg 90Kmph).

Mine is a 2.5DSE

Hi Phil,

You got a part no / supplier for this air filter? Sounds like money well spent to me.

Here you go, there's 2 for the petrol version and 2 for the diesel versions, just take note of the dates:

- K_and_N_Filters

I end up getting nearly all my stuff from those guys as stuff is a tad on the pricey side over here in Portugal i.e. 1 air spring over here sets you back €344.85 incl VAT!!!!!!! I bought all 4 from Paddocks for only €331.00 and that included VAT and P&P to me here in Portugal!
