yer its a kjet mk2 turbo, and fuel isnt bad at all really... i think!? If your steady steady i have had the mfa reading 37mpg but normally its 28-30mpg, on the other hand as soon as you boot it you head into single figures pretty quickly

At the min mate all i can think about is her stuck in a garage. I think for now im good for parts but i hold my breath. The one thing i do need its the gear bushings replaced but that can wait.

Spoke to the dude in the garage today and nothings happening till montag  :angry:

Got her back today and she purrs lovely and is so so smooth to drive... fallen straight back in love!

Turns out it was the timing chain out by a notch on the exhaust valve so tomorrow gonna give the garage that did my engine re-build a ring and see what they have to say for themselves!

But still  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
