I've been doing it for the last few days and got the Mundaneo (2 litre
diesel) up to over 50 mpg on a 12-mile commute (normal driving about 42
mpg).  It makes driving a dull old estate car quite entertaining, plus ...

Managed to snap a stud in the exhaust manifold to downpipe last week.
It is resisting every attempt to drill it out.  Short of buying Dormer
drills what can I do?
I don't seem to be able to reach the NG from my newserver so I'd

Well I tried, after the disaster with the 110 Defender last year I chanced
another. Brand new 08 plate XS and this one too has been rejected. Faults
with the diff, gearbox, handbrake and bodywork are just not on for a motor
costing nearly £30k.

bit of a mix-and-match system on this one.
Italian tanks, OMVL90E vap, bigas switchover unit and CO.RE.GAS closed loop
controller and, I assume, matching stepper motor.
The petrol system is not closed loop.  It's had a single O2 sensor fitted on

can anyone tell me the drive size for the filler/level on a R380 gearbox
please?
Thanks .. Eddie
