I'll give those a go. I don't expect miracles but if I can turn 32mpg into say 35mpg and a better heater I'd class that as time well spent.

That's really interesting, I might even find some horses then! Things to check to heat the car up quicker? I'm thinking thermostat or perhaps a coolant change ?

Hmm just a passing thought that you've prompted Frank. The car takes a long while to get up to temp and the heater is luke warm really. I wonder if perhaps it never quite/rarely reaches full temp and thus the engine is running rich because the ECU isn't going closed loop?

Cheers, I'll make sure it's all warmed up! Fingers crossed that solves my problems.

Does it need to be under load to work or can I do it static?

Wonderful thanks Frank, how did you manage to route the cable into the car! Hopefully the sensor will give a duff reading and a replacement will make a big difference.

I actually have one and the torque app, sadly my car is a 99 and doesn't have OBD2.

I'm thinking o2 sensor but at 35 quid to find out it's a full tank of fuel that it would need to save over the time I own the car.

Hi folks, My 1.3 k11 manual has averaged 32mpg since I got it. That's a mixture of motorway and city driving. Seems pretty low to me, tyres are at the right pressures and the car seems to run ok. Any thoughts on why it could be down are greatly appreciated. Cheers

Quality, almost bought some identical bmw wheels for mine.

Very smart. And there's me struggling with an OBD1 to OBD2 adapter!

Cheers plmval, off to google how to do number 1!

Hi folks, Odd one, the heater in my 1.3 is a bit rubbish. It takes a while to get warm at all, and then when it is warm, it's pretty tepid. It comes out of the windscreen vents a lot warmer than the feet and side ones. The engine is a little slow to get up to temp but nothing crazy or...

So my rear wiper seems to turn on for a second whenever I go over a bump. Any thoughts on why folks?

Pm me a posted price please mate.
