Ok, cheers, will do that then :)

Not for my 205's.. It said in me book 28 front and 38 (from memory) on the back.. Good point though..

Thanks for your thoughts on this.. I will post back on my Herberts return trip, on how much fuel i got through n speed etc..

I do most of that.. I do hang back and am good at sussing the road ahead, n do the taxi driver trick at traffic lights. I do not brake much, but 40 mph in 5th gear is way to low in mine.. She is struggling with the smallest incline at 50 mph in 5th. I am inbetween 4th n 5th a lot at 50 mph on...

50 is not a good speed to keep at because its right between 4 th n 5 th gear. My next trip i will be looking to follow lorries. This time i was overtaking them cos i was keeping 60.. It reminds me of when i was young n in me Dads Cortina, forever urging him to go faster.. I always thought...

Sounds good to me.. I went to Sussex to get me children down here for almost a week :) I have not got too much money saved n what i have is going on a fun week of adventures with me Herberts, so some more saving on the fuel will be good.. 55 mph is optimum fuel efficiency speed in a disco...

I know i could better 500 miles, but 600 is a bloody good challenge.. I get my fuel from my nearest independent.. Prices usually ok when comparing around.. I try to avoid supermarkets.. I hate queuing..

Yeah, its sounding better now.. Dorset was looking lovely today.. I love the drive over them hills between dorchester n bridport.

That sounds good :)

Just dug out the fuel reciept.. 67.68L @ £1.389 .. £94.01 I remember i did not fill right up, i filled until the first fuel pump click off. I dunno how much is left in the tank after the fuel light comes on, but i reckon i used the above amount of fuel for the journey.. I dunno what that is in...

Dunno chap.. It cost me about 95 quid to fill it up from almost empty.. :eek: I will look at how many litres it takes for the next trip. I am pleased it did it on one tank, but its done 180k miles now so the economy probably isnt what it used to be.. No mods on mine n running 205 road tyres...

Nope the ol bus did me proud..

I took the old girl on a trip to Sussex n back today. Its the first big trip i have done in her.. I was worried about my flickering oil light n a few other potential problems, but i had no problems at all, and i did the whole 500 mile trip on one tank of fuel.. Just.. Anyone done better in a...

Its got a St Piran flag on the roof..!

Looks like Trago..

Do you have to get in that via the windows Trewey..?

I shall keep an eye out for that then. Mine is nearly empty :)

Have a look at my fred on flickering oil light. It might help you.. My light is still flickering, but i got me another engine to go in now.. I would be interested to hear if you sort it..

Was it flickering as you drove, or on tick over..?

Ya.. Only lasts a week or two, but good to put on this time of year. :)
