    Depends on the labour rate mostly.

    Filter is about $45, at 0.3hrs to swap out.

    Based on reviews from other members I ordered a travall boot liner the day before we picked up the car. Quite quick despite sitting in customs for a while. Rolled out nicely and the fit of the lip is spot on below the luggage tie down points. However it seems to be a little narrower than the sides right near the tailgate.

    rolled straight in

    gap down sides (snug length ways and across at the seats

    I've noticed over the last few days that the consumption display in the MFD has a strange read when initially starting moving. It jumps immediately to 49.9L/100 and holds there until the shift from 1st to 2nd gear regardless of how many RPM the engine is running at.

    All other shifts run from much lower consumption points at the normal shift points & RPM
    Is it just a fault with the readout? anything to be concerned about long term?

    Is that the long-term consumption, or instantaneous?

    I would say it is fairly normal.

    Think about it this way; it takes more effort to get a car moving, than to keep it moving.

    Yeah I suppose, my transporter never hits that high though, 27-30L/100 tops if I really put the foot down.

    But it's the strange figure & no matter how hard I press the accelerator it always hit and stops at that 49.9 mark. I'll see if I can make a video to record the revs and speed.

    I heard that reading can be a health indicator for the fuel pump,49.9L/min is the maximum and it means the fuel pump is strong as new��
    My R36 always shows 49.9L/min under hard acceleration.

    BTW, I don't have the gap issue of the rubber liner, it fits perfectly. Maybe it needs settle down or the storage cover needs adjustment ?

    Cool car mate! Nice photos too.

    I sat in a Habanero Orange one of these in Wolfsburg and loved the thing. Maybe some day I'll get into one again.
