Hi there everyone,

                             Just got my mv6 manual back on the road after 18 months SORN and i have a few queries , any help welcome

1.How many miles do you guys/gals get out of a full tank of petrol at an average 25 mpg I believe 75litres is capacity?
2.My petrol guage and the dashboard DIS appear to be very dicky as I keep nearly running out of petrol,Where is the sensor located? Is it easy to change? Finally how much are they to replace?

Sorry for the silly questions, but with the car being of the road I  have forgot how good/bad the cars economy was.        Thanks

well now you say it, he did mention something about replacing the slave cylinder while it was stripped down,the clutch in the end was well gone,it was so crunchy to go into gear,only had to let my foot of the clutch and it would just drive,and also the clutch pedal was more or less touching the floor in the end.

not looked at the car since last week,as ive been working away,thats why i have not replied to any your advice(thanks)jumped in the car today and i have noticed that the clutch pedal is not returning back up fully,when i put my foot under the pedal and lift it up it will then go into gear.would i be right in thinking the clutch is not adjustable with it being hydraulic.any clues thanks
