Hi,
I have a 2002 mod on 51 plate V40SD (Sport Trim) It's now done over 60k and I'm very pleased with it. Going to and from work in Kent (there are a couple of steep hills on the way) I'm averaging 47mpg. When I go to visit my parents in Cabridgeshire I get 53mpg (two up).

I've had a few different company cars, all oil burners, Vectra, Astra, Escort and second cars Honda CRV, Trooper, Zantia, AX14 all petrol. My V40 is by far the best all rounder, well apart from off road!

I have treated the engine with ZX1 friction eliminator that made a vast differance in noise and smoothness.

The only other car that has come close to my V40 was a peugeot 307SW (new one) in Spain.

Get the V40 Oil Burner!
