Hi Ted.
where U going in Siberia, what date?
had tiger for 2 years, 30000 miles, comuting and trips.
like it, proved usefull tool. 2000 model getting bit old.
42mpg if driven well, less if used all day on Motorway 80+ mph.
been in Spain, Ireland two up.
if parked up >>10days, fuel leaks into cylinders, won't start.
pull off fuel pump connector off tank, crank it & it will clear & start,
usefull tip if left at airport 3wks.
on 800 XC, just bought one for jolly to China next year.
plan for 955i, put Diesel engine out of Smart car in it, cannot resist 110mpg & ridicule from my mates.
Joe.
