It all started years ago when I decided to turn my ‘lorry parking yard’ into a garden. Had a garage put up and then set about deciding what to do, so got in some ‘landscapers’ ‘designers‘ and ‘builder‘ types. Crikey the money they wanted to charge, so I figured, despite being useless at things like building I would do it myself for less than a quarter of the price….cue watching that Diarmuid Gavin , Alan Titchmarsh et al on TV over and over! Now I am the first to say I am the most useless when it comes to ‘building things’ so a pal of mine helped me (or rather the other way round) and we had a great time. Upshot was , it made him decide, as he was handy, he would be good at it long term and having been made redundant would be a good career in which to engage. I popped a few quid his way in appreciation and helped him set up for himself as a basic general gardener, maintainer, landscaper etc. He is now based Carlisle /Scotland way, employs a couple of people and doing very nicely indeed, and it was him who is coming to add the extras. As for me erecting a pergola, I think I would have more success at doing an engine swap in a car!!!
As yet not here and not yet done although hopefully after Easter sometime. Snow (bl00dy weather) and fuel (bl00dy tanker drivers/Unite) permitting Regards Last edited by volvorocks; Apr 4th, 2012 at 21:04. Reason: swop/swap |

i'm not as bothered by many on this forum about fuel consumption as much as i am convenience.
i managed london to disneyland paris (via dover/ calais), and back to calais on a single tank. after having a car which only did 200-220 miles on a tank, it was a refreshing experience!

Although, my average fuel consumption is generaly not very good, I did drive as economicaly as possible with my D5-aut the last 700km (mixed use, city and highway traffic).
It is very well possible to fall in the range : D5 AWD - 33 to 45 MPG (US 27-37) 8.5L/100km - 6.3L/100Km (measured at the fuel station) Nevertheless, it takes all the fun away of having a D5. I have choosen the D5 to have some extra acceleration in the traffic. Unfortunately it is noticed in the fuel consumption when using this accelaration. I wouldn't have bought the D5 if I didn't want to feel the power sometimes. |

Just seen a best ever of 21 mpg, but a tankfull here is about £12 so a bit irrelevant to this thread.

My D5 is brand new, but just wheezes into the 33-45 group due to mostly driving out of town. When I tried a fill up with the super diesel the tank took £99, so the £100 tank fill will be the next milestone (or is that millstone?) |

On a trip to london and back keeping the car at 68mph I did 44mpg. However, on a recent trip to the continent fully laden with my wife nagging me to do at least 130kph I was looking at 35mpg. This was done on Cooper discoverer m+s 2, winter tyres, 4 passengers and a boot full of suit cases. The D5 is economical providing you drive it accordingly!
