Just had a long week end at Ashbourne, towed my caravan up there and runaround done about 300miles its worked out to 24mpg. No you said its been serviced but check simple thing like brakes binding.

check threads for brake calipers it may need the sliders cleaning, and for hubs and testing 4x4 there is loads of stuff on here.

I don know who sujestred lambda sensor, but it is a good idea, you can get universal replcments for most vehicles now and they are not to exspensive, and fairly easy to test
