Hi All

Post by jayy111 »

Hi All,

I've been enjoying my Largo for a week now and just wanted to say hi to all you largo owners

I brought dj largo's Largo at the weekend and the whole family have been enjoying the ride ever since

She makes me smile every time I drive her... although I'm not sure about my wallet, it looks like I am getting about 250 miles on a full tank, is that normal?

Cheers
J

Thanks for the warm welcome...

She is nice and clean, a couple of little problems but only very minor... will probably ask you guys for help at some stage...

gixxerboy I have been taking it fairly ease, sitting behind lorries on the motor way and keeping it at about 60 ish, sounds like it’s something I should look into then… she's a 2td diesel 2wd model

Hi and welcome :D

Have a look at my signature strip for my mpg's. Mine is a 2.0ltr Diesel. It has a couple of minor running problems that still need to be sorted but it gives you an idea.
From full to the brim to about 1/4 of a tank I get around 250 miles. I never really let mine go below 1/4 tank though, so I'm not sure how far she'll go on that little bit.
