My 110 TD5 does around 28 mpg as long as you don’t go over 60mph! Over 60 I only get around 23 mpg!

A good post Hufflepuff!

I received a CSI nozzle as a Christmas present (after a few hints) and fitting took the best part of two days and several trips to the tool shop to purchase deep sockets!

I have a 2002 TD5 110 hard top that is County spec with the Winter Pack and it has heated seats, heated front screen and electric windows. It didn’t have a headlining at the back though.

It's up to you how you configure your vehicle, but personally (having had a 300 TDi with a centre seat and my current TD5 with a cubby box) I would never have a centre seat again!

It occurs to me that the rear nearside top is where the breather is connected on the TD5 and early TDCi 110 tanks. Is it possible that it is the breather pipe leaking, not a split?
