Good good, as long as you stick to your guns it sounds like you'll get it sorted. Tbh the bill is that large they have probably just forgot to put on the £3 for coolant

General how many miles from a tank are you getting
My fingers and toes are crossed for that other i got a lot of hassel coming my way, on a lighter note now i am more confident with the engine i will be getting a tuning box for it in a month see if i can get it up to 150 bhp i would be happy with that.
Yeah I wanted a tuning box, but would rather just get the remap, going wait till insurance renewal time though 
hi all i cant believe that people are getting so many miles i dont think i have ever got more that 390 to a tank i drive 16 miles to work and back every day and the occasional run into town!! i will put a computer on to the car and see what it brings to light.. i will have a look for this maf sensor because i dont thnk the car has been right for some time im just about to fill the car up i am into the light now want to give it one last chance to shine!!! thankyou for your posts i will update as i know!!
after refueling for this time i have averaged 37.0mpg and have reicived 300 miles again i put the car onto diognostics machine and found no faults and look at the air flow meter and couldnt see anything wrong with it what figures should i be getting anybody know!?? :bang:
After driving rather carefully I managed to get about 460miles out of the mjet last week. Nearly all of it was motorway though.
That's because there is nothing wrong with it i only average about 400 miles a tank to unless the car is living on a motorway for the entire tank. Lots of ppl on here only get that to, the ppl that say they are getting 48 to the gallon around town must be driving like granneys m8. If you gonna drive like that whats the point in buying a quickish car just buy a 1L city car that will achieve that all day every day round town.
See when the petrol light comes on, is there still 10L left in the tank? I always fill up when it comes on but I can never fill more than 35L. The book says it's a 45L tank, but isn't the light coming on when there's still 10L left a bit panicky?
I thought that was in response to my post! Very confused for a few seconds.
Very poor attempt at humour!

i have the 1.2 8v
im lucky to get 30mpg out of her most of the time, i dont have a heavy foot, she is treat well and still poor economy.
i had an MG zr that did more to the gallon when i was been hammered!
most of the driving i do is motorway too... when it gets to even the slighted incline it really struggles like crazy,
the missus has a mk2 1.2 8v and her car just pulls like crazy! and she is hitting over 40mpg! im gutted!

220 miles. Tjet.
I take it the tjet has got the same 45 litre tank as the other gp's ? That is painfull 22 MPG when fuel is hitting over £6 a litre.

Yep, Normally put 40 litres in it.
I hope you mean £6 a Gallon, otherwise I will need to stop driving straight away!
If ya go on to indecated mgp on the menu it will give you a real time idea of what you need to do to get the best out of your engine and you can see what your mpg goes down to when you boot it.
