Hi everyone

Can I assume it's normal to have quite lethargic power and fairly poor consumption in the first couple of hundred miles? I've done about 200 miles now and the power is a bit lacking in 'oomph' for a turbo diesel, and I'm barely getting over 36mpg even though I'm sitting on a constant 70mph on the motorway.

Please tell me it gets better?

Not impressed so far.
