Its funny when you show it to your friends and there faces drop.
On that journey I reset it and stuck with 60 with cruise control on with the Temp at the correct marker and then see where it stopped.
I did the same on the way back from picking mine up. It was showing 61.9mpg (which is obviously way out.

Running round town, I'm still getting high 30's, so the 160 is obviously doing its job

61.9 That's the highest I know, I have noticed there not 100% accurate at times, should see it when you go down HILL, which that MPG gauge go through the roof and back down again.

The 160 is the 2,0L V6 am I right?

No my new one is a 2l Diesel with the 160 Remap. Other than that, totally standard.

I had the 160 remap done last year as well.

A great upgrade.

Work done on my mine is.

Bought it last year after taking the front bumper and looking at the standard one I had, plus the common faults with the o rings, with this you don't have to ever worry about it.

Other is the de cat and the converted twin system.

Other then that nothing major.

Alison's record... 470 miles from 32 litres of diesel. As crass as it may sound; beat that!

Lightweights!





That is an eighth of a tank so should be good for about 8800 miles on a full one.

Be careful no one nicks that car of yours and hides it somewhere.
