Title: Back from hols
Post by: Steve Brookman on 08 April 2010, 18:14:31

Just returned from a week in  Brixham. Took the caravan. On the way down it was very windy-the car rarely got into top gear-I think I got about 15mpg.

Totally different on the way back-car in top nearly all the way and back up to 19-20mpg.

Car behaved perfectly as alaways.
