Too true... 15k service intervals are the first problem. Oil and filter get changed every 7.5k.

Yes - I didn't start doing 'intermediate' oil changes between 15k services until last time @ 52,500:wacko: I will learn ............. eventually.

It does sound a little thirsty then! I drive very on off, sometimes hard, sometimes soft.. most of my journeys are short too so not sounding good lol.
Might get a zr160 instead then..

I got 35mpg on track at castle combe, oh hang on you said the 180 not the diesel LOL. I regularly get 48mpg out of mine with about half and half in town and motorway driving.
