Yeah might do that, paintwork is really good but has a couple of imperfections that could be sorted. It had faded a bit in places (seems to be common on orange gp's)

Yeh the orange, red and blue all seem to suffer badly from paint fade

stephenoengine bay's looking clean mate, do you use anything special or just car shampoo and a sponge?

 

[stepheno]

It's had a few cleans to be honest, just kept chipping away at the grime. Attention to detail is the key! ?

Wheel cleaner seems to cut through the dirt, muc off is a good one

Ready for the wales road trip!

 

[stepheno]

49 mpg on the 110 mile journey down to wales, is that good/bad for a 1.9 mjet?

I would've thought it could be better: on a decent length journey, I can get mpg in the high 40s from my 1.4 8v.

 

[stepheno]

Yeah I guess so, weather was bad so wasn't tanking it. Averaging 70mph

 

[Jacob]

Not bad really, mine is similar, maybe low 50s on a similar journey. I reckon it'd do 60/65 with granny driving but where's the fun in that?

Yeah true, I've been getting 40mpg around town! It was very windy on the journey which won't help matters...plus plenty of mpg sapping hills!!

I'm at uni in Cardiff so do a lot of driving between Derbyshire and Cardiff and yes, once into Wales the roads aren't great for economy, hilly and windy (ish). Fun though.

Nice thing about a diesel is you can thrash it and still get 30mpg out of it easily, my 1.2 mk2 drank fuel if you went for a spirited drive. Well as spirited as a 1.2 would allow haha.
