30 MPG !

For the first time since having my TD6 facelift I have achieved 30 mpg on a mixed urban and suburban run. I believe it may be due to replacing the oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, crankcase breather filter and fitting a EGR valve bypass kit. Judicious use of the sport mode also helped when climbing steep inclines.

The journey was from the outskirts of Bakewell, to Buxton, across the cat & fiddle to Macclesfield, stop go through Macc and Knutsford and then onto mid Cheshire on the A556. I set the computer to zero before commencing the journey.

If you know the roads and area mentioned you can see why I'm chuffed at getting 30 mpg.

I shall keep my fingers crossed that it will creep up on longer motorway journeys

It's the downhills that helped Did you have the air con turned off as well ? .

. . . . Numpty !

The Speed Awareness Course was alright though. I've still got the port code for the venue. I'll keep hold of it for the time being -

Where do you go after one of these . . . ?
