Arrived safe and sound 3 weeks ago. Just topped up fuel to get a proper brim to brim measure. Over about 1600 miles doing all sorts of driving the car returned 44mpg. (2l diesel with cat bypass fitted and 160 re-map) No air-con in use on wy down this may not be the case when we return mid July
Only slight issue on the way down was on some of the long downhill sections as was getting brake judder when then brakes got hot. Suspect a slightly warped front disc which showed up more when hot, so maybe some new discs when back home. Car is now parked up the boot being slowly filled with Gin for the return trip. A few people suprised at a 19 year old car actually making the trip. One garage we stopped at several people were under the impression it was a Bentley, I had to explain that in fact it was a far more sort after Rover 75.
