sounds fine to me, if you havent done so get some 750s on it (poor man over drive) - and make they are correctly inflated

anyway diesel is so cheap these days ..........

I kitted mine out with 7.5's and a fairy overdrive, was able to get 26mpg on good runs doin around 45-55mph. Less on local driving, and much less when off roading.

Economy will always be pants off road cos the engines runnin for hours and you don't go very far. best to test it on a decent road run.

25 or so.If ya want proper economy with power get a V8 and be done.My old 2 1/4 diesel was shockin.My range is returning about 35mpg equivalent cost to diesel and because no one wants one they are way cheap....

so that V8 is cheaper to run? thought those were gas guzzlers? LPG would do it, that is sooo cheap.
Do they fit properly on an S3 transmission?
