Re: Fiamma pull out awning F65S

Simon - love the look of your van. :mrgreen: Particularly like the alloys , the awning [ i have a f35 pro but the 1.8 m one , wish i'd gone for the bigger one now i've seen yours! ]. Best of all is the aerial shot - is that a standard AFT or have you added it ? It looks contoured at rear and the fro...

Re: How many KMs on a tank full of Diesel?

I misquoted when i said 300kms on a full tank. I have just checked my previous thread [see below ] where i actually got 323kms [ and this was normal ] on 49 litres which was around 18.4 mpg ! I think the secret is to not use on very short runs ie 2 or 3 miles where you never even get in top let alon...

They kindly gave me a copy when i b...
