    Poor Fuel Economy

    About right unfortunately!!! :( I get about the same, mixed driving town and A road 29mpg-32mpg. Best i did was 34mpg. Shifting around 2k - 2.5k On Motorway iirc was about 38mpg, and that was sticking to the limit, as one should. Its almost the same as BMW 330, on paper :mad:

    Loss of pressure in the clutch pedal

    Service time

    The time has come to get my baby serviced. I would like some feedback if possible on my potential choices From what i read on here oil wise is to ideally go for 5W30 or 10W40. I have found on Halfords Mobil Super 2000/3000 X1 for about £20 for a 5l, which is not bad. I guess either one would...
