[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 513850, member: 38"] Just a quick update - the last few weeks have been spent rebuilding my 1600TP engine, so the van hasn't been in use. I bolted the engine in on Saturday, and on Sunday ran it in with a approx 150 miles, mostly on motorways. With a freshly rebuilt engine, it was able to sit very comfortably at an indicated 60mph on the motorway in 5th gear (sat-nav 56mph), and seems to have returned approx 30mpg in the process. I'm hoping this will improve slightly once I have a chance to sort a small misfire and adjust the carbs properly. :) [/QUOTE]
