spadam 7 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 That would be nice. Bit annoyed on way home tho put my foot to the floor next to a mondeo with exhaust, alloys etc and i could only just keep with him. Wat the hell. It was an R reg couldnt see if it was a 2.5 v6 i hope so but even still the old ones are only 170bhp something cant be right with my car? Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Took it on a trip to centre parcs in sherwood forest. Managed 37mpg on the way back averging about 70mph. Still got a really annoying rattle noise coming from inside cabin sounds like its underneath the seat now. Really starting to bug me anyone got any ideas. Link to post Share on other sites

spadam 7 Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yea to be honest it was on trip computer so will be slightly less. I still managed 440miles on £70 so not to bad considering a full tank is £55. Link to post Share on other sites
