Re: Stickies for fuel consumption

The past 1600 miles has seen a return of 36.4mpg from my 2.0l 16v petrol, which is pretty typical for me. I thought that was great....until I saw the 1.5dci averages. Damn.

Re: Stickies for fuel consumption

Annoyingly, I was managing 36-37mpg (which is possible in the 2.0l, believe me. Obviously you have to drive in an exceedingly boring manner though) 6 months ago, but as soon as the petrol prices go postal my economy drops to 33-34. Damn you Sod, and your stupid bloody law! I once managed a heady 60m...

Re: Brake Pads & Discs - 1.9 DCi

The Service Invoice is broken down and shows: Replace front pads and discs - £255.86 (£300.64 incl vat) Criminy. I just had the front discs and pads replaced on my 2.0l petrol for half that. I guess it pays to avoid the diamond encrusted pads.... I'm getting the rears done next month. I was going t...

With any luck the flood water will send the Aston my way. It would technically be claimable flotsam I think... The Megane has somehow escaped injury and is running fine. I even had to pass through some still flooded roads today as well, overtaking a stalled Alfa in the process, with the greatest of ...

I have the 2.0VVT Megane 5dr (as my sig suggests) and over the past 300 miles I was averaging 37mpg. I've done 3000 miles or so since buying it and 35 - 36mpg is the norm for me - I don't do much driving in built up areas. I once managed a fairly ridiculous 58mpg on a run to York (OK, I cheated and ...

Not quite the adventure I had in mind.....

Today my Megane celebrated 3000 trouble free miles with an average of 36mpg (for a 2 litre, I'm staggered. Must be my miserly driving) by moving mountains, slaying dragons, running over Vernon Kay and, perhaps most importantly, getting me home through 4ft of flood water in Hull's worst ever city wid...
