  1. The other thing to consider is the difference between driving a petrol and a diesel if you're not used to diesels. In a petrol (in simplist forms) it's about the revs of the engine higher revs means more fuel. With diesels it's more to do with how hard you press the pedal rather than the revs you're at. If you've been used to driving patrols you could think low revs is better, but then you have to press the pedal harder so use more fuel. I've obviously overly simplified this there is more too it in terms of minimum fuel requirements etc blah blag.
  2. Also the car had an injector "learning system" so driving like a loon for a bit will change the dynamics of the car. If you drive hard it changes how the injectors work to give you better responsiveness. you could try driving on the motorway (a fairly empty one) at about 60mph in 3rd or 4th so you're at about 2500rpm,15mins like that will force a DPF regeneration which might help with economy. If you do short runs this is a definite must once a month
  3. Mine runs mid to high 40s generally and that's driving normally with the odd squirt as it were. i have had over 70mpg on a 200 mile run hypermiling. The 50-56 is based on you trundling around in cruise control at 56mph on a flat road. That's not reality. If you follow hypermiling techniques you can get a really high mpg but long term that's not good for your DPF filter. generall though I get around the same figures as dug
  4. The FH2 Rockstar Energy Car Pack you get with the digital version comes with a Subaru WRX if that sways anyone's decision? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. I think I'll see how Much the console is and how many games are going to put out 4K games Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. The console or Forza Horizon 3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Well a $1000, not sure if they'll do the usual and translate $1000 to £1000 I would expect it to be £700-£800 to be honest over here.
  10. No the version being released in 2017 is 4K project scorpion or something. I know the one out this year is only HDR Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Consoles will be up with PC's soon, we've got PC mods now on Xbox in Fallout 4, 4K graphics coming in s new console it'll be nice to play with PC boys and expand the numbers especially if mods etc can be brought into the mix which now looks likely Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I'm liking the sound of the 4K Xbox next year. Might have to upgrade when that comes out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. It depends it might just let you move the data from your single player game between the two formats Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Well I'm hoping so, but it means a much higher risk of modders ruining everything on the Xbox Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Most on here will play Forza on XBOX so unless there's cross platform play he won't be able to join the SOC online Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Yep, game already have the ultimate version up for preorder for £80!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. It is a bit like that isn't it, I hate to think what Gambit's going to do, probably go own in his dungeon for a couple of days Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I'm looking to get a towbar for mine for a small camping trailer. Can anyone recommend anyone who can fit a detachable flange towbar with all the electrical install? going for a detachable as I don't want to ruin the appearance of the car, plus I don't want to lose ground clearance too much.
  19. Announced this week at E3, Forza Horizon 3 looks stunning, will have to get the Subaru club together again online.
  20. Not such a rare event for us to see two, we've got two on our drive. 😂😂
  21. Packed the car ready for the long haul to holiday, off camping, surprised how much stuff gutted in the XV and a roof box considering we have a dog cage in the boot so nothing could go in the boot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Looks like Aircon issue is finally resolved. Wife's car had to have a new condenser radiator due to the old one leaking at a seal. Aircon finally nice and cold again. At least it didn't need any big or expensive parts , just a condenser radiator [emoji15] You can see where the leak was by the dirty oily patch in the bottom left where the oil has come out.
  23. Well it's just cost them £100 worth of gas so I guess they'll learn. I was struggling with why they only did a vacuum test. The work is under warranty so I'm not really bothered how much it costs them as long as at the end of the day I get a working system and its not costing me anything.

  24. Take it to the ombudsman, they will address this, if they screwed up and you've got proof it's on their head surely. If go to the ombudsman.
  25. Yeah I knew that was for a similar gas but the 15% maximum loss still applies as I understand it. My dealers have at least identified the leak now, they took the car to an airconditioning specialist who found the system had lost 400g of gas. They carried out a vacuum leak test and found it didn't lose vacuum and that the system was ok. They then filled the system with new gas and a day later the dealers retested it as a final check and found it had lost another 200g of gas. They eventually found a failing seal near the condenser that was the cause of the leak. Now I'm not an expert on Aircon but I guess you do know what you're talking about, in which case you could possibly answer me a question. Why would a specialist carry out a negative pressure leak test on a positive pressure system? It's obvious to me that when they introduced the vacuum into the system, it probably "sucked", for want of a better word, the seal back into the hole and blocked it. Had the done a positive pressure test as the system would be in its normal use they would have detected the leak quickly.
