Positive Thread....

With all the problems that people need help with i thought i would start a positive one for a change.

I've been away for a week or so Traveling north from Manchester to Scotland then around and across then back. Just me the landy about 150 kg
of gear, oh and 78kg of Akita in the back.

Covered just over 1800miles, about 800 on the motorway, 800 on A+B roads and the rest on tracks and uc roads. Including plenty of hills and mountains.

The landy never missed a beat whatsoever, used no oil or water and managed to do 36.23mpg
Considering the amount of mountains its been up i pretty happy with that figure

Mine was the same never missed a beat. ...then it made me pay.

Having changed water related consumables (thermostat & heater matrix) and 2 injectors) the car did my 2000 mile Scottish jaunt without missing a beat, or since then. The average was also about the same for that trip in my auto.

I was expecting less mpg because i spent a lot of time in the 3rd and 2nd gear going up some major hills. So i was pleasantly surprised.

I spent a lot of 2012 driving up and down the country from the West Midlands to Glasgow and back as a weekly trip covering well over 20,000 miles in that time. The car was superb.

That's all
