Still loving the car though despite some of it's more..chavtasic qualities and the ability to reach the limiter is just cream worthy.
In terms of mpg put £35 of petrol to do the trip and ended on about the same point on the fuel gauge, not an accurate reading but that should be about 40mpg
these engines are good on fuel, but unsure on what they will get mpg, as my vvc metro returned the same mpg as my HDI. that was not putting the engine onto cam and the car had weight in the back.
it might be the alternator belt or the pas belt as these have a separate system for the pas.
