I have a Seafarer Vermont with a 250 E-tec.. Love it.. Great day boat, and a solid offshore fishing machine.. Goes fast too, thats important.

Thats good, mine was around the 15/100 when new... Now with 45k on the clock, I nearly always get under 10l/100, thats a mix off city/hwy.... When I tow my boat (2.5tonne with trailer) my economy halves

I'm seeing the same results from my 2007 desiel auto...

I traveled from the Gold Coast to Noosa with a howling northerly head wind and averaged 8.1l/100... Going home returned 7.5lt/100, but I was pushing it and overtaking a lot.. Best I have ever average for a trip is 6.5l/100, Gold coast too Brisbane Best average for the tank is 8.3l/100...

When I bought my D40, I drove straight down to burliegh (put the first 10km on the clock) and hooked up my boat, 2.5 tonne with trailer,,, and towed it home at 120kph down the hwy.. My first impression off the D40's tow capability was woefull,, it couldn't hold 5 gear even when I slowed to...

The odometer is all good.. I have done nothing to the car,, and so far all the services have been done differant mechanical work shops, not Nissan... As I said, my car today is exactly the same as it was the day I bought it. It literary still has the same air filter in it since day 1... The...

Well it just keeps getting better... Since my last post on this thread I bought a Scangauge II.. What a top piece off equipment it is.. Anyway I done my last trip to Brisbane, and for the overall week/tank, I recorded 8.3lt/10o...... Individual trips to brisbane got down to 7.5lt/100, but arvo...

30'000km is were the D40 loosens up, and then getting better from there on.. I have 38K on the clock and my economy has remarkably improved.. On the HWY I gat get as low as 7.6lt/100 and around town 9/100.... I usualy average 11/100 as I like to put the boot into it it time to time.. Once the...

A rattle from the engine at start up... Usually it only acures during the first start off the day....
