Jay i had this problem on mine, really crap on fuel so tried an old school trick out before going down the route of changing sensors etc, undo your airfilter and put a pair of tights over it and drive for a couple of days and see what your fuel is like then, all of a sudden it went back to normal on fuel, so got the jet wash out and gave my filter a good washing, so the problem on mine was the filter was blocked

Jay, if youve got a duff lambda your MIL light would be on, either P0124, P0135 or P0175 or maybe even another code. one of my precat lambdas was shot from trying to start it with no petrol in. ran like shoite for 6 months till i could be arsed to finally sort it out. was returning less than 250 per full tank [to the click] now sorted back to 300+ per full tank.
Scangauge reports 15MPG inner city average and anything between 29 and 33 when you hit the A roads. So is your MIL on then?

Jay I doubt ur sensors are at fault. If your vis isn't working that will give you poor mpg. I saw u in it last sat afternoon driving into marks+spark up by me. It's tapping very loud! Is that ur vis or a tappet?
As mentioned worth checking air filter as well
Some of u guys are getting bad mpg! I get a 155 miles on ?30 (at 1.25.9per litre)

I spotted you on your way out. Think it's a tappet Dave as it stops when warm, gonna put some derv oil in it next week in hope of sorting that out. Will sort the vis out as well.
Gonna replace the hose to the air filter so will clean it at the same time.
Also got a sheddist kit to go on so will be busy.

If anyone wants to feel depressed , think of this...... 120 miles on ?40 of fuel = 3 miles per pound in fuel alone
100 miles on ?20 of fuel = 5 miles per pound...... Now that to me looks rediculose , where does the government think we'er going to get the money to run a car ?

My zed still gives 320 miles to a tank with mixed driving. It's better on fuel than my TD5 Discovery.
