Hiya,

Have just bought a 54 plate 2.0D S40 V50 model. The car is showing on the motorway that it is doing around 40mpg on level road in 6th gear at around 75mph!! It does a hell of a lot more at lower speeds.

I need to get the tracking done as the tyres are scrubbing quite badly and another sign is that the wheel is off center when going in a straight line. Could this lack of mpg be down to the tracking; if so what can I expect to get once it is sorted?

Also going to get some new tyres; is there a recommended make and model of tyre for the S40?

Cheers in advance.

Dave
