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

Hi and welcome to the forum. DJ's bus was super clean. 250 is about right maybe a lil more on a run.

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.

We're enjoying the ride, I'll take care of her and try and keep my foot off the gas
