Ive had a Manual 2.5 DSE for years, good car , a bit agricultural but great tow vehicle . Sounds like Tiffs got a mini engine in his or his message board Dash is broken as mine does 26mpg round town and 32-34 on a run , its been "adjusted " as well ! Hope you have deep pockets when they go wrong tho , the best 4x4 Dealers charge like a wounded bull for service and parts.
