Mine is well and truly catastrophic, town driving 20mpg Sunday driving up and down a dual carriageway with a steady foot no traffic I peaked 32mpg, if I even think about accelerating the damn thing drops

59mph on the motorway 37mpg ish, its just crazy. On a plus note though, I've done around.. 250/300 miles with the loo roll filter and fingers crossed my oil level is still at max which is amazing! I'd use 800ml/1 litre of oil every 1000 miles or so so its looking great at the moment
Hey dude,

Apologies, I haven't updated in a while!!

Well, the main oil leak is well and truly fixed! It was definitely the vac pump/loose head cover bolt. No more drips on the drive, but some oil still passing through the turbo.

With regards to mpg, my daily commute is really bad start/stop kind of driving, so I don't get past 27ish mpg off the computer. I have literally just done a long motorway journey and I was touching 49mpg on the computer. Yours definitely sounds very low! Hey, that's good though that you have sorted the oil consumption out!

I am currently sat in Birds waiting for my LSD to be fitted!! Very excited.
