And ripped out half the passenger side to do so? 😬 I want to follow that guide at some point and stick a switch in. Looks like a good few hours of swearing and fun.

Wow not bad. I got around 315km last time I filled up, made up of short journeys and traffic light grand prix.

Today I put my CG Locks back on the seat belts. Sooooo much better having your hips locked, no falling out the seats!

Mine was mainly motorways and A roads to Cornwall. There seems to be a mini Elgrand convention going on down here as have seen 3 others so far in the last two days...
 
Where you all find cheap petrol. From empty v power was £99.97.
I used pay at pump so max was £100. Hate to think what it would end up at.

But today I booked in for cat decore. Hopefully will solve my lack of power issue.
Just need to wait 3 weeks for appointment :(
 
I wouldn't be driving it in the next three weeks or you could end up with a lack of engine issue. 😳

That is brave. Only hit 65 litre fills a couple of times (about £85), I just get nervous when it won't tell me estimated miles anymore. It's a bit disconcerting when it just says "--" km range :laughing:
Good to know I can push for a bit more... (I can hear me explaining to my wife from the hard shoulder now "it's not my fault, this guy from the forum said they can go for MILES on reserve, I just don't get it" :joy:)

Ok, full disclosure, I was doing lots of small trips never further than a mile away from the petrol station, so not too brave! Also, I’d only got into the low 300’s for kms since the last fill up and was trying to get it as close to 400km before brimming it again :)

If you wait for the big triangle to appear that says 'fill up now you idiot' in japanese there's still a couple of gallons left.

That’s the main warning I take note of, as the little light on the dash comes on way too early!

Today I fit my new HKS panel filter. Not had chance to drive it yet, but not expecting big things. Expecting much more from my new centre box when that arrives, its like being a kid waiting for Christmas!

More excitingly I managed to bag a remote control series 2 Elgrand that I can build! It looks like my model X except I dont have sunroofs.

Am I right in thinking your panel filter is the type that requires changing the filter rather than cleaning and re-using?

Love the remote control Elgrands by the way! 👍
