Thanks. I had it detailed two days after picking it up but the weather is conspiring against me for photos!!!

Just added my spec above, stll trying to work out some of the options. Just out of interest, I assume without the Drive Select package the setting is Dynamic??

[worsy]

Way too long 10 seconds, reckon i've only done 6 at the most - very scary!

Hi RT911, I managed an average of 10.4 the other day

In real world I'm hitting 25/26, with a mixture of M, A and Town roads, in comfort mode and not exceeding speed limits of 50 or less . On a motorway run I've seen 40mpg on cruise Round town averages are much lower of course.

Last week I managed 5 trips to Aldershot (from Swindon) to a tank of about 57 litres, that works out at just over 27mpg.

Should point out mine is DSG, co2 is lower for the Auto box so MPG should be higher.

I have set my individual settings to auto for engine/box and dynamic for steering and suspension, just for hustling along a roads in traffic.

[worsy]

btt, few threads about S4s about

[worsy]

No, Swindon.

[worsy]

8mph does indeed seem to be the threshold on mine too

[worsy]

box with Milltek written on it has turned up. Booked in for next Saturday

[worsy]

lol - Managed to get a 30% discount, was rude not to!

Group buy FUBAR

Digger, last car was an S3 prior to that it was Imprezas and Evos

[worsy]

Managed to have it fiited today at http://www.neilgarner.co.uk did a wonderful job and it sounds fantastic. Seems quicker to me too!

[worsy]

I reckon I get 23/4 as well, mostly town driving. On a run it is a world apart though.

[worsy]

At the moment doing purely short runs to the train station the DIS tells me I have 340 miles on fill up.

IMO 23/24 mpg from a c350 bhp 3 litre v6 ain't bad.

Looks like March 10 was the cut off for the good pumps. Mine is a Nov 09 car so likely to have a plastic pump. I must be way off a service yet, just done 4000 miles

[worsy]

Had the car detailed this week ready for winter, very pleased as ever.

Feck me, you never heard of resizing your pics? Car no doubt looks great but I need to sit in another room to view them.

I'm lazy, don't they resize automatically, they do for me.

Looks stunning - what effect does the Milltek have?

Improves the noise marginally, nothing too over the top, enough to be what it should have been as standard. It feels sharper but that could be all in the mind.

As DrG says, protection for the winter and removed all the soft summer tar from the underbody. We had the wife's Mini Cooper S done as well, and that came up beautifully.

Not as yet recorded a sound bite, there are a few on youtube but personally I think you have to hear it in the flesh so to speak.
