General Purchased..... 165 Derv ;)

[Chrishandscombe]

Bravo!

I am now the owner of a 2.0 165 in Black.

I have seen people have had these remapped with impressive results.

Will be glad to see the back of my ZR Derv, although at £250 and 18k later, its paid for itself over several times...

Apart from the remap..

Any recommendations on mods/things that might need doing?

Saw the guide on the rattle behind the dash and apart from that, there are few guides on here which is disappointing or that the cars a reliable.....

Just had a fish finger sandwich to celebrate

165 sport!

18 inch alloys
Black leather
Rear tints

=)

Cant wait to pick it up and zoom!

I do 110 mile round trip for work each day, apparently these can do about 600 miles on a tank? is that right?

I have delta 2.0 pretty much same thing and average about 45mpg in the real world, if you do a lot of long motorway journeys you may do better

 

[rafsteve]

my round trip is 803 miles, my average mpg is 60 on the motorways, and 40 when im home racing around haha! but when i fill her up my dash says 700+ miles and i make the 400 with just under half a tank left

Not long home after a 200 mile drive home with the car...

Impressed? Yeah i am.

I was even happier to see an armrest! Also has electric rear windows and reverse park, not sure if it has hill holder.

only 3 things i don't like....

1 - Alloys have scuff marks but then its winter so they can wait for the summer before a local company can sort them out. Used them before, inspraytion in medway city trading estate.

2 - Stiff gear stick... Goes in and out fine, doesn't central like it should. From what i have read a nice dollop of lube sometimes sorts that.

3 - There was condensation on the inside of the windscreen, probably nothing to worry about.

Other than that, 180 miles on a 8th of a tank I'm pleased with

Sorry but you are going to be disappointed if you reckon you did 180 on 8th of a tank.

450 miles per tank real life with close to 600 if you are on 300 mile runs but they are not that economical.

100k miles in mine so I know what the 165 is like.

 

[Chrishandscombe]

would you like me to upload a picture?

why would i make it up?

 

[Chrishandscombe]

however, i did brim it. 56L Worth.

i Don't know the shape of the tank so Id imagine at some point the needle will drop fairly quick

 

[cardinalbiggles]

A picture is no good, it tells you nothing. The range tells you nothing either as its up and down like a lady of the nights knickers

The 165 has a 58 litre tank so you must have been pretty empty to get 56 litres in, mine shows its empty then will only take 49 litres max.

Its not as economical as you think, that's all I am saying.
