    Had all the shopping trolley dents taken out this morning, every panel is like new now!


    Taking it to Greg Tunstall in the morning for a check over and a replacement ignition key, the pad on it has sunk!


    At the moment I have got 690km out of 1/2 a tank, hopefully its not one of them fuel tanks that increases speed once you hit the half way point!

    Sure does, the top half of the tank is twice as large as the bottom half......

    Yep - that should do it. Or it may need a long weight added to the float (I am still waiting for mine to be delivered). 😀

    When new it seemed fairly accurate, but over time i think it deteriorates (probably need to adjust the float arm but you get used to it).

    First time you run it down to the light coming on, fill to full to find out what reserve you have. Anything less than 1/4 always had me looking for a station, and I was filling after 850kms.

    Thanks for the tip, I really hope I get around 900-1000km!
    It's going to make a change from my little VW UP which did around 4ltr/100!
    Loving everything about the car, feels great for. 14 year old motor!

    Got 870km out of it at the weekend, 3 hours highway drive at a average 100km/h then over to Frasier for a couple of days, then back home, can't grumble with that really. Had the wife and three kids, a load of weekend away gear including a bloody big fridge!


    See what I get out of the next tank!
