Default RE: 244 dl auto very heavy fuel consumption

many thanks for that henrik

it certanly confirms the mpg im getting is ' normal ' unfortunatly
i was expecting more...but it was only bought as a second car for occasional use by my wife, three days after i bought it my own car , the 740 developed backpressure, with oil everywere ....

so the 244 was being used heavily until this one was repaired.

after seven hours under the bonnet this weekend it is now fixed.
the oil breather box was solid but having had a simlar problem years ago i knew what was needed, at the same time i replaced the inlet manafold seal, that was leaking , and also did some well overdue servicing....( luckly for me the camshaft oil seal was not blown as i first thought ) so now the 244 will be able to rest a while...

many thanks again .....graham n roberts......
