Well, its not really alright lol. That said I have managed to really cut down my milage this week and have been driving more carefully for ~80% of the time so hopefully the mpg getts better, although with the cold temps I doubt it will!
RE: FAO Fooby - THE_Liam - 05-12-2012
50mpg is more than alright Tom...
RE: FAO Fooby - Jonny81191 - 05-12-2012

Do you just rag around town or something normally then? How does your mpg vary so much??
Mine really seems to be rinsing it now, was at half a tank today and 180 miles! I really hpe its just the guage being French!
Thats one of few things that was good in the golf, the gauge was always bang on.......the 306 one seems to just guess how much fuel is in there.

The difference is country lanes and an epic commute!

You must have empty country lanes then? My B road 'commutes' are always full of twats doing 35mph.....
Which should theoretically be good for my mpg lol.

We know how to use B roads up here mate

Surely theres old people up North too? Or do they all come down here to retire?
RE: FAO Fooby - Jonny81191 - 05-12-2012
what liam means is we overtake them like they aren't there.

No it wasnt tom, it just lied to you. They are programmed so they only go down in steps. the 306 one is basically a variable resistor with a restriction on the float to stop it bouncing all over the place.
RE: FAO Fooby - THE_Liam - 05-12-2012
Also, they know how to drive. You wanna try catching old farmers on the Dales back roads that they know like the back of their hand, you've never seen a Defender shift like that!

You have to remember I'm in a stage 1 HDi though...I forget myself half the time and expect a little more power than never appears lol.
But seriously, where I live is crap, there are so few 'safe' overtaking places its just annoying.

Yeah I did notice the float on the pumps were different, you can feel the 'steps' on the golf one, where the 306 one is just smooth...I just assumed it was because the 306 one was worn out though lol, didn't realise VW had made thiers better to start with.
RE: FAO Fooby - THE_Liam - 05-12-2012
That's a point Jonny, might be driving up to Cumbria over the weekend for a night run over some of the passes before the snow starts closing them, if I do are you in?
RE: FAO Fooby - Jonny81191 - 05-12-2012
yes. obviously.
but you may have missed your chance, it's snowed a lot on the tops, i suspect the passes will be shut
RE: FAO Fooby - Toms306 - 05-12-2012
Was gonna say surely its too late as its snowed already. Its snowed here today.....an inch of snow on the floor and the bin men cancelled their collection!? We need some northern bin men down here.
RE: FAO Fooby - THE_Liam - 05-12-2012
F*cks sake
RE: FAO Fooby - Jonny81191 - 05-12-2012
Sounds like a severe case of southernfairyitis. It's very contagious.
RE: FAO Fooby - THE_Liam - 05-12-2012
I know the buttertubs is still open, might just do that
RE: FAO Fooby - Jonny81191 - 05-12-2012
Kirkstone should be, i'll have a gander at traffic reports
RE: FAO Fooby - Scott - 05-12-2012
f*ck you guys, I get 300 miles to a tank
