So not so different from a petrol V6 on a trip then.. I see about 35mpg on my Somerset and back trip and although I drive with care I'm not slow...

Thats all good and fair jim. But how LIGHTLY is she being driven. Dont get me wrong the esj is a nice lump.. got one in a xantia and used it for a while.. but the loud pedal is soo attractive i doubt 35-50 would be achivable all the time..

Having driven Jim's V6, I reckon 10mpg would be the order of the day.

Do let me know when you find out!! :lol: I suppose I should have said "not completely tied up" money- a rare occurrence!

There are plenty of cash machines that dispense "free money," although whenever I use them my bank balance seems to drop by the exact amount the machine has given me.

it's a nice looking car that could be back MoT'd again for the cost of a couple of bulbs.

rip out the HiDs, swap the seat squab temporarily, gaffa tape the rear so no sharp edges and Robert is your mother's brother.
