What do you drive, which engine, manual or auto, and what do you get MPG wise?

I use this for an accurate figure, only doing fillups, and trying to use the same pump.

Ford Tourneo 125 GLX Tdci - average 35mpg, todays fillup 36.5mpg (12p/mile)

The first one of many :sad: If you can get rid of it do it quickly.
even when the box goes again you can still get it into the gear you need but you have to force it in by keeping the clutch depressed a bit longer.
My first one went about that mileage then at 80k and again at 98k then I got shot of it.
If the gearbox did not let it down it would be a dam good car, I wonder why the automatic one dos not go wrong?? ask the dealer if you could swap it for one,
The hyundai Trajet had the same problem as it used the same engine and box
