i have been on 375mile contant no stop trips in this car, runs like a dream, uses no water or oil, just done a 140mile round trip on less then £4 worth of diesel

Part Exchange: anything try me
£1400 o.n.o (if this to much tell me as i dont know how much it is really worth)

[Gary406]

140 miles on less than a gallon ? blimey thats a record

[generalbaxter]

its what i did

i done that 375 on less then a 1/4 tank lol

56mph, lorry slip streems FTW

[generalbaxter]

sorry my bad it was £5 my mate just told me lol

[Gary406]

140miles to that gallon is still a record

[Catflem]

140miles to that gallon is still a record

Must have been freewheeling down Mount Everest............. or did the last 90 miles on the back of an AA transporter .

These are pretty good on diesel, but 140mpg is exceedingly unlikely.

[generalbaxter]

lets work this out, 70ltr tank correct,

it used 1 little block on the gauge which is an 8th correct?

[generalbaxter]

should go back to school

the 375mile trip was 55mpg - sitting on the m25 going nowhere

he 140mile trip works out to be 84mpg as it used £10 worth of diesel at £1.31
as it used 1/2 of the £20 i put in, getting all confused sorry lol
(please note it really would have been quicker to walk)


but then again i got 77mpg out of a cavalier TD 21psi cav towing around 1ton

lets work this out, 70ltr tank correct,

This is a 406 gauge we are talking about here lol

If that were true my car generated it's on diesel the other day as the gauge went back up

[generalbaxter]

well put it this way, its about to go into the red on the gauge, and the tank meter is telling me 107miles left in the tank

[generalbaxter]

mpg cock up putting aside

have a really badly over priced this,?

im getting offers of £400=£500
the clutch and fitting were more then that

[plod]

Nah, just people chancing their luck

[Gary406]

its definalty worth double your lowest offer there (400)

you will fetch a grand for that motor easy mate.

[generalbaxter]

not doing to bad £1150 2 days left

[plod]

Thought you were going to struggle for a minute when it was still sitting at £450 for first couple of days, but yeah,shot up quick nicely hasn't it
Didn't realise you were just down road though
