Re: Your fleet running reports
Clutch slave cylinder failed on the truck. It had been on it's way out for a while so I had one ready to fit and although a little awkward due to the very recently fitted exhaust exhaust downpipe being in the way
It came off and went on no probs. Bleeding was a 2 minute job as well.
You need to buy a lot of parts for this thing but at least they're cheap. A new clutch slave was only £20.
Gales here in the SW this morning and it's a bit fooking windy in there with no door tops on
Invigorating though.
I don't know what mpgs I get but then I don't wank off dogs.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I filled up the Mito on the motorway services last week and then reset the mpg and proceeded to use full throttle for about 90 seconds - it wouldn’t dip below 20.8 mpg - that’s all the piddly injectors can squirt 

How about not having a sig at all?

Mine will see single digits on the instant read out.
I think I'm averaging 35mpg for the usual late for work thrashing about. Don't think it's any better on fuel than the compact was which is a little dissapointing...

Re: Your fleet running reports
It's urban driving where it's especially bad. Best I've had was fully loaded with roof box at a steady 80-85 from Manchester to Cornwall when I got 34mpgV8Granite wrote: Sat Apr 27, 2019 7:44 am
Is the regular 330 that bad normally? My friends 530 pre-facelift was pretty good on fuel.

That’s more like it, with a roof box at that speed is pretty good.Swervin_Mervin wrote: Sat Apr 27, 2019 3:29 pmIt's urban driving where it's especially bad.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Scarborough and back at the weekend 37.4 MPG out of my S60 T5 which aren't renowned for economy, wasn't hanging about either.
New fuel filter, TCV and oil catch can removing all the white record stuff seems to have helped things.
Looking at C30 T5s to replace the Peugeot, all seem to be in shite colours though.

Is that fairly normal for that sort of run or a particularly good one off?16vCento wrote: Sat Apr 27, 2019 11:28 pm Scarborough and back at the weekend 37.4 MPG out of my S60 T5 which aren't renowned for economy, wasn't hanging about either.
I'd find some of the mpgs mentioned questionable but on here a low figure seems to be a badge of honour

I'll have to have a look at my last few fills and see what it's done.

Re: Your fleet running reports
It's about normal for a long run, I'm surprised how good it is on fuel, long gearing helps.
Re: Your fleet running reports
For records purposes, Cayman GTS 27 mpg and UP GTI 49mpg.
Re: Your fleet running reports
Just filled; 293.7 miles on 27.33 litres, 48.95mpg. Doesn't sound worth it compared to an Up GTI , damned technology moving on

Nice

Re: Your fleet running reports
Brakes on the bus were juddering like fuck. In the olden days, I'd have slung a new set of discs on it and be done with it, but the internet claims there's no such thing as warped discs, only residue build up, so I set to the discs and pads with the rotary sander and you know what? It worked. No more judder. Bloody he'll.
All those discs from the past discarded unnecessarily. All that time with the dial out gauge wasted.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Fabia ran well all day. Front left tyre is fubar but I had a spare so all good. Another of my spare wheels doesn't seem to be holding air - I think it's bent.

Probably too tight for the 911

How many runs do you get in a typical event, and how much?

Re: Your fleet running reports
We had 3 timed runs at 4 layouts, which were 2 different layouts run forward and reversed. You got a map and got to walk each course first.Coaster1 wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:28 pmI got dizzy watching thatJonMad wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2019 9:05 pm Fabia ran well all day.

I think the Porsche would be good - lots of traction. The layout was fairly open really so I didn’t hit any cones. Maybe if I got closer to the cones I’d have been quicker...
Cost was £48 and a bit of tyre wear.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I've done a few in mine, it depends on the course a bit, but it's OK. Small & light is better for these events though. Caterhams etc. are always very quick. The last one I went to, FTD was a frogeye Sprite !
