Yes Jim, you took the words right out of my mouth!! I immediately thought of those figures you quoted only last week.
The worst figure I have ever recorded with a D24 was 30mpg - and that was after a few weeks of nothing but stop/start, very short journeys and idling for long periods around town. And that was an auto.
Apart from that horrendous thirst, this example looks like a very nice buy. The indicators, grille and wheels will make it even more appealing to a lot of people as well.
My first diesel was a 940 GLE, again a K-reg with an M46. That was nudging nearly 40mpg with a mix of around town and motorway.
