MPG from a MY93 Classic
Hi guys & girls,
How is everybody on this fine morning?!?!?!?!
Yeah....been in work since 7am so I'm not so good either!!!!!
Anyway....I have just bought my first Scooby and I was wondering what sort of MPG people get out of theirs?? I get about 300km out of a tank from driving around town, not on the motorway. Does that sound about right to you guys?? I think it's running a bit rich too, no idea how to sort that out cos I'm used to having carbs!!! Any ideas???
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers guys

Without sounding too much like a dumbass, how easy is it to adjust the fuel mixture?? It's running a bit rich which isn't helping the fuelling situation!!!!!

no idea mate, worth taking it to a specialist to get it checked over (£70.00 or so.)
worth it for safety reasons, and peace of mind!!
i wouldn't **** about with anything you are unsure of, they are complicated bits of kit (just do a search for MAF sensor on google, and see alone what just this componet does!!!)
my advice is to take it to a specialist!! - thats what i did.
get them to compile a list of things they regard need doing in the near future, prioritise these, put them in a diary, and budget for them.
ie: if they say interim service 3 months, cam belt in 10 months, brakes 6 months etc.....
that way there "shouldn't" be too may unexpected things to shell out for.
good luck

Good idea mate...I'll do that. I was thinking about taking it to Power Engineering for a check actually. My mate told me they check the engine all over thoroughly, then check the bhp & torque etc on the rollers and give you a print out. Might be worth doing just to check the condition of the engine etc.
