hello to all in landyzone world
hmm.. a bit of a problem with the car n having to visit petrol stations with shocking mpg
so its a td6..3.0ltr.
stop larfin :)
yes its de rated and the gearbox was designed with Wallace and grommit in mind with their love of cheese:p
it has no issues no problems and drives perfect,
has just clocked up 123,000miles.
it was a good even before i got hold of it ,and i am a perfectionist.
its totally rust free,
it has everything it wants lavished on it
im even in the process of upgrading the wheels again,from supercharged, to l405s, and to now new turbines and new rubber..
just a very good clean car and still loving it..
but heres the thing..im on 200 miles with a quarter of a tank to go, ( and the tank was brimmed)
clucking hell springs to mind..:p
what mileage are others getting?
am i asking too much, :(
after having new air con etc and loving the cool,should i turn off the air con and fry and bow down to greta funbags!
viscous fan is free wheelin (not locked up causing excessive drag )
zero faults on any system on inpa or icarsoft and foxwell
no tow bar ever fitted
i know @kds can achieve 400 ish miles ( thanks ken)
if a 3.6 came my way id consider it, but i would be reluctant in the same breath as going through everything again would be a pain.
;)thoughts answers really appreciated..

I'm currently reading 19.4 mpg but only doing local trips at the moment.
Best I've had was 36mpg on a long motorway run.
Worst is 14mpg when it took me 2.5 hours to do 15 miles.

hello mr b
its been a while since we last spoke hope its going good for you,
mines at a very stuck 17s.. when i see the ubber lovely 3,6 s and 4,4s i do get a yearning.. and they can easily achieve mileage that i can only dream abouto_O

Are you spending a lot of time stuck in traffic jams?

not really
just a mixture of a few miles on a A class roads riddled with pot holes that a vulcan bomber would be proud of
and round town,
range robberies are a cruel mistress:D
 
I'm still going thanks.....just about :). How's it with you?

I too would love a 3.6 or 4.4 but it ain't gonna happen :(
 
17mpg does sound a bit poor but I guess we need to see what others are getting. I do drive like an old woman these days.

I live in a very hilly, twisty, brakes on, power on area, and get approx 18mpg. Mixed urban driving I used to get 24 -26mpg and motorway long runs 30-31mpg.
