Over the last 1800 miles my manual estate, fully loaded all the time with all my tools ladders etc has returned according to the read out 38 mpg ,I quite often achieve 45/47 on the motorway /dual carriage way sometimes even hit 50mpg.Oooh Now you got me thinking again 😞
You do need to drop the oil on a regular basis apart from that its almost bullet proof.
Not chipped but its no slouch!!

If you haven't done them before...
1. Lift car up.
2. Wheel off.
3. Drift the pins out.
4. Remove outboard pad.
5. Push outboard piston in.
6. Scrape all the muck out of the caliper.
7. Wipe some copper slip along the top and bottom edge of the new pad backing and either side of the shim, if present.
8. Fit new pad.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 on inboard pad
10. Refit pins/spring.
11. Refit wheel.
12. Drop car and tighten wheel nuts to 110Nm.
Repeat for opposite side
Sounds long winded, but takes less time to do than to type
The reason is simple, if you remove both pads, then as you push one piston in, it will simply push the other one out, literally... Both messy and annoying.
By doing one pad at a time gives the second piston summat to push against, thereby keeping it in place
Phone q depends on the head unit fitted...
CCRT2008 will also allow Tmobile/Orange/EE and 3
NCDC20xx is O2/Vodaphone only, as Chris suggests
Maf or air leak affecting both banks? Post the codes just to be doubley sure.
Phone is Voda or O2. There are no un locking options due to the band width of those two networks only.
