Mpg Down By 5mpg

[sir john]

The MPG is down. I usually gat about 24/25 nocking about and 29/30 on a long motorway run.

Nocking about for me is 25miles plus on country road, i live rural. Very rural.

Im down to about 21/22 nocking about and only 24.5mpg on last weeks 700 round trip motorway run.

Time for a service me thinks. Planning on spark plugs, air and oil filters and Castrol GTX.

Is there anything else you can suggest i do? Is the Transmission fluid change a big job or is it similar to an engine oil change? Id also like to change the rear axle oil and am thinking that its a simple matter of draining out of 1 bolt hole and filling up through another???

Any suggestions? And what plugs and fluids do you use?

Hi, how about fuel filter and the trans will have it's own filters inside.
