TubbyTwo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 just ordered one of these DOX-0228, so will report back once fitted and tested. Also doing spark plugs at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 just ordered one of these DOX-0228, so will report back once fitted and tested. Also doing spark plugs at the same time. Thats the one I got from sparkplugs.co.uk. Unfortunately it didn't last very long. I know it's a Denso like the stock one is. Im back to using the original one the car came with. Car seems to run a bit smoother and mpg has improved. God know why it never lasted. Go oem or go home is what I say! I hope you have better luck than me with it.

Sakey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I managed Huddersfield to Edinburgh (about 236 miles) on £40 .... dullest drive ever. I would recommend it if you like being over taken by buses on the motorway . Normal driving I usually get about 95 miles per £20, it has new denso 02's sensors fitted though.

Marcus GTE Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 are any of yous driving with air-con on in this weather? that'll knock your MPG down a fair bit. Yeah, i had it on full blast on a run to loch lomond last week, i did about 50 miles and it used 1/4 of a tank. Pretty expensive to run! I just worked it out that the 1/4 tank of V-Power i replaced cost about £30 @ aprox £1.42ish p/l. A full fill up can cost £115ish (£113.60 @ £1.42 but it can fluctuate) for me depeding on how long the orange light has been on ( i thought the UK spec is 80 litres? you might get 70 in when the light comes on, but i thought the reserve was 10 litres?, dont have my manual handy) I normally get 320 miles to a full tank, so at say £113.60 a tank, £113.60 % 4= £28.40 and 80 miles per 1/4 tank, compared to 50 miles with the A/C on is a diffrence of 30 miles per 1/4 tank or 120 miles to a full tank. So going by that, if i had the A/C on full blast for the full duration of a tank id only get 200miles, so would cost (@35p per mile) £42 more to go the 320 miles id normaly go. dont know how to work out the respective mpg..... my.head.hurts.
