Looking to replace the focus with a V40 D4 190, seen the mpg figures on paper, anyone out there owned one, and can give real life mpg?. Also any issues with this model, any information welcome...thanks

A 63 plate will be the 177bhp D4 5 pot.
I have this engine in my V40, it only has the single turbo so it isn't as powerful at the lower revs. But once the turbo kicks in it's just as fast, having the same amount of torque.
It's a 5 pot, based on the D5, so it's very smooth and makes a nice sound, plus it's a lot more reliable than the 4 pot VEA D4, as it doesn't have the EGR issues
