I’ve done 17miles in one day, that was all I could afford.
I did feel like that a bit yesterday, we have a Volvo diesel too and I have never seen a fuel gauge drop as quick as it did on the e51

380 miles is the longest I've done. Fitting cruise control was a game changer for long drives, both because it's less tiring and burning less fuel (I'd inevitably end up at 80ish, with cruise I tend to stick it at the same speed as the lorries and chill)

850 miles over Christmas, Isle of Wight to manchester, and back, and various trips around. Granted, the bearings were shot afterwards...
That is something I will be investigating in the future.

As you're in Wales, with 20mph speed limits descending in 2024, consider the CANM8 cruise control. To my knowledge it's the only one with a speed limiter.

That looks brilliant, and reasonable price too, did you fit yours?

Yes. This looks like an improved, easier to fit one. Getting the trim off was the hardest bit... though that became easy once I read up on/was told which bits to undo/pull on - this forum is great

Over a week, 1430 Miles Stirling and back from West Cornwall, with 300 miles of driving around, we had to come back as the first lock down (2020) was imminent. I got 29mpg average as well!
