| Thanks Milton And thanks for all the help and advice on the site, shame it ended with a bit of bad taste, TBH both my wife and I loved driving it and it was one of the nicest vehicles we've owned but 3yrs from working to expired is not good at all, one the worst in terms of longevity I've ever owned... |

| I've never found mpg to be that accurate on ODB, cant beat the good olde calculator of what you put in and the miles you do way, theres plenty of "apps" out there that you can load to a smart phone. Problem with the ODB way is its not actually measuring any fuel, its just best guessing fro... |

| Think it does depend on which intercooler you need, there are some around that price, mine was around the £150 price from memory which to me seemed a little steep and I prefer to change my airfilter for about a £5 every 6mths which has drastically reduced my leakage to a level that for me is very ac... |
