Got new pads and discs, getting about 600-650 miles from a tank. on motorway long enough time it can reach past 80 + 11 its got plenty torque can get up my drive sloap in 2nd without throttle. all filters clean, and car serviced just before we got it even oil clean new filter and stuff. Think just have to live with it, thought it would be more pokey than my old 1.8 Petty 406.
