There can be rust and no cracking 

Thanks again.

Will replace disspac and check for blockages

Webby,presuming you have checked other obvious causes of high fuel consumption,low tyre pressures or a slightly sticking brake caliper/handbrake binding would all cause more fuel to be used

thanks mate. wonder why/hpw peeps are getting higher then?

oh, well ill still do the testing stuff i was going to as i want to see if shes in good health anyway 

[martin42]

higher will be on a long run mate,i.e motorway run etc

[martin42]

your need 1 off these for better fuel economy around town

[Webby the Bear]

nope. what i really want is a messerschmitt

[Marks DTM Calib]

I wouldn't consider down grading to an Escort, if changing then go for something economical (as you would only see 45mpg on a run and not around town which has to be comapred with 30-35mpg for what you have)
