Thanks all, any pointers on the cruise control ? I can't find owt ... if the answer is no I will donate the bits to my mates 2.2 Vec and see if it works on his :-)

Looking forward to finding out loads more about this beast of a car, just hope I can afford to keep it - cheaper insurance but about 20mpg if I'm very lucky if the test drive is owt to go by !!

You will get a better responce for your questions in the other sections, normally this is just the welcoming section.

If you are not sure where to post then start in the general discussion area.  if fitted the cruise control (left stalk) will/may be something or nothing to sort.

20mpg sounds about right for town and hard driving, other than that it sounds like it needs a once over as high 30's should be achievalbe with smooth dring and 34+ should be well within it's capabilities. :y

its a 2.5 V6 petrol. P reg with 105 000 on the clock. The trick i have found is not to pull of fast. It comes up with 7mpg then. Reset your trip and mpg read outs and go for a really nice cruise for about 40 miles. That should give you a good reading
