Yep, I'd run it into the ground in your situation and get another car that isn't a dog if affordable

I'm not as savy as these lads in the price market but I'm trying to shift my gen 3 and was thinking of putting her up for £600 and prob take £500 for mine so like the guys of said I'd get the money now if you still can.

I'm not to sure I'm struggling to afford to run her :/ she's doing 10-20mpg and she's costing a bomb to run, and I'm driving light footed if I get heavy I'm getting below 10, any idea why she's drinking petrol like a plug hole?
Mods I have are a SRI and headlights?
Had the SRI for 2 months so surly its not that? But I think Ferraris are getting better mpg than me atm :/ what can improve it? Or what could be coursing it?

Give her a good service would be my first thing, New oil, filter, air filter, plugs and leads

And on top of that where are you getting your figures from, not that clock I hope

Blimey my v6 sounds so economical if yours is running that bad!!!! As above give her a good service freshen her up and she should be happy!

Does it run smooth ? Any patrol smells ? Surely if your figures are true it must be running like a pig. How's acceleration etc. are we to assume it's not been serviced ?. Need some clues tbh to go on.

As said above where are you getting your figures from because the onboard computers are nortoriously inaccurate, only way to find out is to fill her up to the brim run her and fill up again.
Not really much help if your struggling to run her on a shoestring but if she is that bad depending on your mileage you would be better letting her go, you can pick up half decent cars for £500 my mate bought a Rover 214 for £500 with the intension of running it for a year and sold it for £150 three years later

The dial next to volts and n-m not been serviced, oil changed 2k ago, slow on 0-60 unless reving to 5k each gear, used to push me back, don't no more, bit juddery in gear changes, apart from that everything seems fine and 30 miles a day mon-sat Sunday is about 3 miles tops

Plugs, leads and fresh oil my friend... Try that see how you get on...

I'll give that a shot this weekend buddy anything els that could cause it? Someone at work said might be something to do with a sensor? (Think he said MFA) I cant remember anything to save my life lol

Do you mean MAF?

Slow 0-60 plus juddering could be misfiring ? Try plugs n leads although could be coil but change service items first just to make sure but she's definitely not well..

MAF sorry haha id forget my head if it wasn't screwed on lol
I'll give It ago Saturday see what can be done, and what oil is needed as I'm sure I read the oil in the manual is wrong it should be another type, thicker I think?

Pretty sure if was MAF then that would trigger the eml to come on.... I have a set of own leads and coil pack for sale if you need/want them.... £35 all in inc postage.

Oil is 10w/40 semi....

Thanks ill have a look at work tomorrow quickly see if I can find it out, then service this weekend if I need them ill let you know buddy

Been offered this...

steer clear of the 320 straight six, very thirsty, if its a 320 you want get the 4 cylinder.
BUT
To be perfectly honest Jay I think you need to sit down, take a few deep breaths and calm yourself down, maybe consider taking a couple of Ritalin. You've gone through gods knows how many cars you're going to buy in this thread alone and thats before you start on twin turbo-ing a v6.
You stated you didnt want to sell, but want a swap and yet you put a price on for the car. You want a diesel for economy and then you're looking at 320's, you say you're struggling to run the coupe then in the next breathe you're saying you want a V6 to have as a track car or show car....errrr.....have you thought about the money that involves? if you cant afford to run a 2.0 what makes you think you'll be able to rustle up the pile of cash needed to run a car and the bills from having said track or show car?
It does appear (and please feel free to correct me if I've misread your replies) that despite all the good advice you've been given by numerous people (including myself) you're ignoring it and moving onto the next thing that pops into your head. i.e service your car ffs

Why dont you say what you REALLY think Dave?

Least it's not me again!! Bravo dave, many people will agree with that, ill just stick with my twin turbo monster AND it only cost £100 using a few doner vacuum cleaners. It's what I call a pipe dream
( did ya get it???? It's sick !!!! )
I found beta blockers and sedatives do make things clearer AND lay off blue smarties. Lol

Fair does, and yeah the V6 is what I want in the long run, and yeah the reason I'm struggling is my partner lost her job so I've got rent to pay, bills fuel, shopping ect so I'm lucky to have a pint at the end of the week, all my bills total about £1,100 pcm so yeah as I earn about £1,200 a month I'm pretty screwed, but when she was working I had about £200 spare a week, so that's why I want a cheap car for now, and my v6 later as I cant afford it just yet
