...to the first person with PayPal who responds with definite, corroborated manufacturer's fuel consumption figures for my Rover Metro 1993 1.1L K-series carb'ed engine (with cat). Include your email address and I shall PayPal you GBP 1.80.
doesn't give consumption but loads of info.
Maybe you could email them??
Close, but no cigar. Or pint :-)
Doesn't the Haynes manual give the spec?
I'm sure I read the fiesta spec somewhere, could've been the handbook.
Not fuel consumption, not as far as I can see anyway and I've looked pretty carefully.
Is this close enough?
good site here:
Waded through it looking for figures t'other night, no joy. :-(
Going to try to borrow a timing strobe tomorrow. How about slinging some Redex / carb cleaner into it?
I dunno. Student Union? Working Mens' Club?
Can't help with the fuel question, but where can I get a pint for 1.80?
Is it an SU carb? They're pretty easy to check over, someone here will know how. Check over the ignition and the timing, then maybe it's su-stripping time?
I thought that, but didn't like to say.
why? the timing is not adjustable. Check the cam timing, that could be useful and I have often seen people get it wrong.
Personally, I'd suspect the control for the SU carb. Never the most elegant or reliable setup :-/

One Pound Eighty for a pint...? The car might be 1993, but...
Gift horses, mouths, etc. :-)
