something of a side issue, have any of you experienced problems filling up with the pump not continuosly flowing petrol through the nosel and just clicking every two seconds. - it's occassional glitch but is really annoying when it happens

Just re-position the nozzle or pull it out a little. Some bowsers are overly sensitive to the fuel tank vapours...

^^^
Mine seems to do it quite frequently, but I just don't squeeze the nozzle as hard, and it goes in until it's properly full.

I think I managed to put 47 into my first NB8A. I've put 46.11 into my current one.

On a semi unrelated note, what are people's fuel efficiencies with their MX's? Or should I start another thread?

The low fuel light first made an appearsnce in 2002, with the change to OBDII engine management.

I had a look inside my fuel tank after 130000km of running on 98 octane premium only, and it was spotless, not a hint of rust or dirt.
