[QUOTE="thejinx, post: 587864, member: 15775"] Last year I put the van on the road for the first time using Cheap parts. Coil, leads and plugs etc. All year I had issues with fuel consumption. Dead spots no power on hills etc. tucked it up for winter changed oil and changed all parts for quality items. The van came out of hibernation today. First run was down the M4 from Cardiff to Swansea and it didn't miss a beat. Sipped fuel like a nightingale. Last year struggled to get 55 today 65 with a bit left. Although I throttled back as I don't want to blow it. Hills were taken with minimum drop in speed. So like me if your a relative newbie and are not a millionaire don't skimp use quality. Spend the little extra. :D [/QUOTE]
