It must be possible to get better economy with a variable vane turbo - it's the setup the later VAG 1.2 tdi bluemotions used.I wonder if anyone has tuned down a 90 witht he variable turbo to try and get more economy??

Amazing! All your efforts are really paying off with this one!Not today, but yesterday, I took my son to Duxford to see the Spitfire exhibition. 275 miles of mostly motorway and dual carriageway, during which Alan clicked over to 170k and managed 74mpg doing 70 or the speed of the traffic (longish stretches of 60-65 on the A14). It still amazes me what a good car it is!

I shall be checking and adjusting Audrey’s torsion value in due course to see if I can get at least somewhere close to you.??

Thanks Steve, I was thinking the same. I was really apprehensive about starting the is but between you and Tom H giving me some great pointer so far so good.Looking good so far David ?
If it was me, I think I’d spray the interior headlining plastics in a similar grey with some Plastidip and use the extra material Hef gave you to trim the material sections of the sunvisors.
If you need some sunvisors to practice on give me a shout, I’m sure I could spare some of the ones if got in stock for experimenting.
Morning David,Thanks Steve, I was thinking the same. I was really apprehensive about starting the is but between you and Tom H giving me some great pointer so far so good.
I'll tackle a sunvisor and if I break it I'll give you a shout for a replacement.
I seem to accidentally turned my runaround in to a project...
It was great to meet on Thursday, your car in the flesh is even more inspirational than in the photos.Morning David,
The sun visor refurbishment is quite easy and I provided a few pictures here to assist in the separation of the 2 sandwiched parts involved. You have my number and happy to chat this through at any time Sir. Great to meet you on Thursday and thank you for the delivery of parts from Steve.
Kind regards,
Tom
