On the topic of Diesels doing it better... Did yours get you home alright? The hole in that pipe was rather large.

All fine in the end

managed to hold a good speed on the way back, went to the MG Rover club meet in Warrington and a guy had a roll of parcel tape

All still holding well, cheers

Gonna get some proper hoses for it?

Seems the Rover ones aren't up to it

The full silicon hose kit is £120, a bit much for some bits of pipe

Got one off a breaker for £25 posted, bit expensive but seems I'm special and have managed to kill a rare part! :cool:

ATTN: Anyone who ran their car

I'm working on large high quality videos at the moment. I'm doing it for all cars.

If you haven't already contacted me to request a copy, I'll e-mail a link to the video to the address in your trust. If the trust address is incorrect, let me know via my trust e-mail.

Ok, majority of the videos have been uploaded and e-mails have been sent.

Rover416i, Dorje, MrLOL and Confused... I'll get yours sorted and sent tomorrow. The files for you guys are quite large and they haven't uploaded yet

For those who have emailed me - I've been away since Sunday but will be back at home tonight so I can fire up the computer and email off the full-size images to you - I haven't forgotten or ignored you!

Just filled back up I got 31.51mpg and thats including the car on the rollers taking someone out on a passenger run and crusing back home after the meet at about 5000rpm :cool:

Moeks · 7 May 2009 at 13:40

Show off!

23.9mpg

...and thats with the 'normal' driving I have done since Saturday added to it.

Howard · 7 May 2009 at 13:42

I averaged about 33

Confused · 7 May 2009 at 13:49

I've yet to work mine out... 120 miles and over 3/4 of a tank used...

[TW]Fox · 7 May 2009 at 13:51

InvaderGIR · 7 May 2009 at 13:55

Probably 27mpg...seems to be what I always get.

Do you ignore about the top 4k of the rev range or something

? ...or is that with a reset and mostly motorway miles?

I must admit I keep taking mine upto around 6k rpm when I get the space and it's ok to do it, the sound is intoxicating

Hedge · 7 May 2009 at 14:25

I want a Legnum.

Seems like a lot of car for little cash really.
