Yeah I get regular 33s and 34s, drops a bit If I do lots of around town stuff (like today :roll: ) and gets close to 40 on a run 8). I've checked the computer a few times and usually find it to be slightly pessimistic by an mpg or 2.

Not had any problems with the EW12 J4 engine in my Coupe, other than a perished gasket between the throttle body and the inlet manifold, which caused the engine to idle badly. Bullet-proof otherwise.

The V6 cambelt changes cost lots of money because access to the cambelt is poor, owing to the size of the engine and the lack of room in the engine bay. It's largely labour costs, but then, isn't all garage work?
