2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)

Did you do this on a rolling road or where you really driving at 40mph watching your clocks through a camera for 2 minutes?

He must have been on a rolling road, like I was when I took me avitur 
Don't the 2.2's need timing chains at 100k ?

Re: The coupe's now worn in
Thank f*ck for that, I'd hate to think you were a pair of nutters driving along taking pictures of your dashes while you're meant to be looking where you're going

His fuel gauge looks like it's gone up a tad too. Now there's a suprise, a Peugeot fuel gauge which reads what it wants!

Re: The coupe's now worn in
I obviously had the car on axle stands to take the photo.
As for the timing belt, needs to be done on the 2.2 at 96k, I had it done last year.
