Thanks guys
I personally think the performance is great...120bhp doesn't seem alot in this day and age but its not bad for a deisel, but it's the 206 lbft of torque is what means the most, the power delivery is alot better than i imagined...TBH it is bit of a slug below 2000rpm but there is a real surge of power after that, can really be fealt...pulls like a train.
As for MPG, erm well...i re-set all the computer readouts the night i picked it up, and the average MPG figure has been at 34mpg, but is now dropping...was on 32.2 just earlier when i came in...but then i am doing two very short 5min runs too and from work every day and i mainly do urban driving, with it sat in 2nd & 3rd mainly so the power is there, so its bound to suffer...and i dont hang about neither...god knows what id be getting if id bought the 2.6 V6 MV6 estate that i was after a while back - prob about 12mpg knowing me
Guess it will get upto about 40-50mpg if doing long runs/constant speeds all the time.
Also is a few thou' over its service so that may not help matters, not 100% sure how critical derv's are to service shedules against engine perfromance?...wont be long before its going in anyway.
