My Fl2 is in again with the parking sensors beeping when it rains, and to have the new keyfob programmed and a rattle in the headling sorted and to look at some flaking laquer from a resprayed rear bumber and a finally a rubber wheel arch trim replaced that fell off.

So they gave me a Tambora Flame FL2 SE with full body kit, leather/plastic seats, automatic gear box, and the sweet sounding i6 petrol engine.

Does it

The i6 likes to be driven hard and does have a nice rasp to it, and goes pretty well. Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!

just had 6.9mpg

and 18.9 on the smile-o-meter  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Sounds better than the 1.4 Ford Fiesta I got when I had mine in for the 15k service! Wasnt too handy with the two of us, two nephews, booster seats and associated gear we had for a day out.

it does make a change to the "s" models they keep giving me

Though they desided that the SatNav disc won't be left in the car, so it doesn't work  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

So they thought you might nick the disk then NP?  How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
Now driving - RRE Coupe Dynamic Lux Auto with Plus pack, Fuji White, Ebony, SD4 with tow pack
Gone - 2010MY FFRR TDv8 Stornoway and Ivory, Privacy - the pace of a TDv8 RRS, the incomparable grace of a Range Rover
Gone but will be missed- RRS Tdv8 HSE Stornoway Grey with Ebony Leather
Gone (only a little missed) RRS Tdv6 2.7SE Giverny Green/Aspen
Defender 90 County HT in Epsom Green

just nipped back to collect my car and got a call saying it wasn't ready, when i was nearly there , so i called in anyway and asked them regarding the disk and they thought it was in the car, so it looks like somebody has had off with it anyway

Also saw a D3 in Bonneville, with looked really nice, though the car would have been better with cream leather interior and a set of bigger wheel.

also speaking to the sales chap who i dealt with, and he said they had cut back on staff, due to the current climate  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

also on the way back to the dealer, did the trip reset, and normal drive at speed limits, slow accelerating etc and got an impressive 32mpg.

it took some doing to drive like that though as the engine wasn't singing away and it felt like something was missing  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I guess the only thing they can do i6's is hand them out as courtesy cars

I'm sure you could try harder, I want hear that the mpg is less than 5 and smiles greater then 20
