Re: M20b25 mpg?
Thanks for the help guys really appreciated. I've ordered a temp sensor while I'm at work, just short of £4.50 eliminates that sensor.

Re: M20b25 mpg?
Just sounds like mine, have to do 80 on motorway so it doesn't get on my nerves lol. What are you thinking the problem is with yours? I'm a mechanic myself but I've learnt on the new cars as I'm only 20 so with the car being older than me I'm struggling to get my head round it haha
