I done 120 to ?20 I think, roughly, with a bit of nailing it. Sounds like you just need a good service on yours, and see how it runs after it all. 1.6 or 1.4?
And how did you hear about our site?

Not sure why you're rev counter is throwing a fit lol, but i do know 18 miles to a fiver is harsh, I was getting 100 miles to ?10 just before the fuel went up, not sure what it is now. Chris |

Is the car actually revving that much or is the rev counter just reading that much? If it's revving that much that'll go toward explaining the lack of mpg. Clean your Idle Speed Control Valve, try a change of plugs and leads, basically just give the car a good servicing and then see what the craic is. If its just reading that much but not revving that high, then check all the connections behind the clocks. |
