    If no-one minds a woefully unmodified Lupo SDi being there, I'll chug along to say hello.
  2. I finally managed to crack the quoted 78 mpg this weekend on a run to the coast. It wasn't a rapid journey, but the traffic was doing a modest 55mph all the way, so i tucked in behind (not that you have much choice in an SDi) and chugged along. Just short of 3 gallons carried me 238 miles which I reckon is 78.2mpg! I'm going to call my Lupo 'Sally Gunnell' (not pretty but a good runner!) [/coat]
  3. Stunning! ... and I thought my Lupo was shiny
  4. On the SDi (might be different for the later/sporty models) I simply adjusted the clutch cable on top of the gearbox. My clutch was riding a little high for my liking, so I undid the lock nut and unwound the adjuster towards me (forward). I moved the nut about an inch and it (unsurprisingly) moved the biting point about the same amount. It was just a 2 minute job needing just a couple of open ended spanners (10mm and 13mm if I recall correctly)! The bite point is now in the middle and much more to my liking.
  5. Cheers John. It appears to be voice activated. I called it all sorts of names, and it started working I think that i had it too close to me (in the hope of faffing about with it on the move), but as soon as I moved it closer to the screen (and more into the line of sight of the sky), it picked up the sats...
  6. I bought myself a shiny Snooper Sapphire the other day (speed camera device thingy) and it doesn't seem to work that well in the Lupo. (It seems to search for satelittes all the time). Does anyone else have bother with GPS/Satnav in their Lupo? Is this possibly due to the type of windscreen? ...Or is it god's way of telling me that I'm not likely to get going fast enough to get into trouble in my SDi?

    Newbie!

    Another Lupo newbie saying hello... My new wheels (pic below). Not quite as quick as my other ride, but light years more economical
  8. My new wheels! I'm gobsmacked by just how frugal it is. I embarrassed myself at the petrol station today (my first fill up) when I struggled to get just a tad more than a gallon in. My other ride (Saab 9000 Aero 2.3T) would have swallowed £20 The little mite managed a calculated 66mpg...
