Finally 16 mpg combined

In the rest of the car world I know this would be nothing to shout about but the best I have ever manges in my RRC 3.9 auto has been 12.6 carefull round town and 16.5 at steady 65 mph on the motorway.

I finally now have it running (thanks to stuart) at 16 mpg combined which is a lot of stop start town driving and an uncaring 70+ ish most of the time on the motorway, wahoo!

what did stuart do?

Reset everything pretty much , this was just a lucky by product!

very lucky, i get 12 mpg on average. I don't do much if any motorways tho. I get a princely 18 when towing the pikey wagon

whats thats in a RRC?

Re ur heater , did you have to replace the whole thing again?

Stuart comes to Hampshire?

Hmm...

yep, i could have got the burner unit but its cheaper to get the whole lot off ebay. Its all working now. Just got to sort the diags out tomoz.

20 mins running gets it just at the blue line which is ample for lpg starting, 40 mins running gets it up to running temp. Its a good bit of kit!

So iam the only fbh on a p38 in the world, the first! It feels good to be first at something!

I know the feeling. West 4x4 seem to be pretty good though.

I'll let you know if I need Stuart.

No prob. He's quite friendly and helpful and his rates are pretty good too(compared to my more local specialists anyway).

I have used west 4x4 in the past and always found him to be very good.
