Hi there few pics of the family cars. Fiesta is mine and is boring but practical for city driving and serves its purpose very well. Volvo C30 D5 (standard 180bhp) is my mothers daily hack. The Navara is my dads and has been mapped to about 210bhp. Few Pics attached. Sorry not the best quality pictures all on camera phone. If any one has a Navara or C30 D5 would be interested to hear about what kind of MPG you get?

Fiesta 1.2








Volvo C30 D5 180 BHP Huge amounts of tourque!










Interior




Nissan Navara Outlaw with remap (210bhp). Great for towing.

Thats the one! Yeh the guy he bought it from is fanatical and maintains his stuff to a very high level! although we have had a few problems it is the best pick up he has had....as the saying goes with so much power....poor mpg must follow!

got the C30 last year...it is a fantastic car. The exhaust/engine note is awesome for a diesel. Ride quality is comfortable/not too stiff and it handles very well considering it looks quite high with 18 inch wheels. The main downside is the MPG. Volvo average mpg for this car is around 40 but we think its more like 30 mpg tops when nursing it...and my mum struggles to drive it slowly. Overall its a good car, bit different and very interesting to drive. Also has some nice design feature like the interior with orange carpet and heavy wearing seats with also a hollow centre console. I am planning on seeing if I can buy it when they sell...if they can keep it in good condition....

I had a V50 R Design with the D5 lump in it and with the 6 speed manual (I notice yours is an auto) I used to average 40-42 mpg but that was with a fair amount of motorway driving (and in a heavier car).

Whereabout are you? Pretty sure i've seen the Volvo somewhere too

If i mind right the Navara had a set of big alloys on it for a while when the last owner had it.
