220 miles return trip for the 350 high roof MTDI, 26 litres, 36 mpg :D , but it does have the 4.63 diff and I was only doing about 55, because I was following some slow bugger in a VW towing a caravan.

Perfection is reached, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to remove.

About 250 miles and pretty much a full tank full (68L) between the workshop and billing :roll: did spend about 4 hours in stop/start traffic though.

Total mileage approx 650 miles (home to workshop to billing to workshop to home)

About 2.5 actually :lol:

I think I would have been at around 5200kg mark. Hence the killer of stop start traffic!
