Yes I was pretty amazed. Will check again, I check every fill up (using total miles against number of litres on receipt). Mine is a manual. I remember getting max 28 (more like 26 usually) in my auto, one of the reasons I went for manual this time, but still I am very impressed with that. Tyres weren't great either, just fitted four brand new ones so hoping that may help a bit too. Friend of mine had 40 out of his manual Disco, but that had had every upgrade possible including a stonking great big intercooler. He only got that on a very long motorway run doing a firm 70mph, but still bloody amazing considering what a brick it is.
Ah, rear fag plug, yes there is. Duh, thanks!
This is only accurate if you fill right up every time and as we all know, getting to the brim on a TD5 takes for ever and a lot of shaking the best to get rid of the bubbles. You have to burp it worsen a baby! But if you is doin this and getting that mileage, respec bro!
that's not permannent live
didnt he hit the night table with his elbow and woke up then? ... IMO that's nearly impossible unless he had a strong tail wind all the way
A/ of course it isn't permanent live, but I doubt he wants to run his batt down with a camera constantly recording his garage door!
butI hear ya. I called BS on it. He swore blind, and he isn't the type to do BS. 65 year old disco fanatic, he told me to ask his brother who was with him. I did, and he said "yep, I could believe it, but i borrowed it for a long trip a few months back and I got 39 over very long journey so it 's genuine". I believe him, but understand why others wont. When he told me he said "nobody would believe this and you probably won't but...." - he knows it's exceptional, but then he did spend about 2k on upgrades, a big remap (twice the power boost of mine) and even he didn't expect that. He doens't get it day to day, only on a long straight run at sensible speeds. But even his daily average aroud the lanes is mid 30s, and now that I have seen 33.5 out of mine (accurate brim to brim) I can believe it even if i thought he was a bull****ter, which he aint.

B/ it would come on as soon as he turns the key and then he could reverse his car and see what is going on so he don't hit his garage door!!!!!
But YES agree about his mate's car. Sounds like a bit of penis-fencing to me!
. No it's a dashcam not a reversing cam. I wanted the permanent live because the camera can be used off that, where it turns off after 15 mins or 1 hour of no activity, then starts up if it detects motion on a shock sensor inside, handy if someone bumps into my car in a car park, 'gotcha mofo'!! (As has happened to me before grrrr)
OK @sierrafery 1 @Stanleysteamer nil !!!!!!I hear ya. I called BS on it. He swore blind, and he isn't the type to do BS. 65 year old disco fanatic, he told me to ask his brother who was with him.

haha. whatever trevor
that live i pointed in my first reply in this thread is permanent live from Fuse F9(30A) egine bay and it's used only for FBH which was not factory fitted for UK market so a clean direct 30A circuit in this case
Man, you always come up with a neat solution.
Maybe my english is not good enough but what i understood from the first post is that the man wants a permanent live hence his statementMan, you always come up with a neat solution.
Even though he did say "Switched or permanent".
The difference between you and me is you is like a plastic surgeon and I is like a butcher! Your patients are more likely to live and look nice after!
Hence my remark re the "fag plug" and no mate, your English is very good indeed! (Switched as in switched on at the ignition) maybe he could put a switch in the wire he will have to take from the underbonnet area.
