    Just to update Steve tells me, that on his European trip, a couple of days ago he hit a huge 58mpg (imperial gallon) that beats the original factory setup for these original VDP metros. Excellent effort Steve!

      58 mpg imperial is apparently 48 mpg US for those of us across the pond.

    Further update, having completed 2323 miles across Spain, France and Monaco, I achieved an average of 47.8 mpg using the brim to brim technique and relying on the GPS for accurate mileage.
    Even got 58 mpg one day of mostly flat driving and a couple of modest climbs. So much more power than before, great throttle response, too. I'm a very happy Metro owner!😅

      Excellent Steve, many thanks for Posting the update after your epic European trip. This also shows how reliable the powerspark components are too.

    Great stuff. I don't understand all the tech jargon but do really enjoy these videos.

    Great video as usual. I've improved my own car so much thanks to your informative vids - but I can't wait for the true 'Chalk & Cheese' experience if I can manage to book you up here in the Midlands at some point next year.

    Amazing how many people come off smiling after one of your visits. We should start calling you ‘The Joker’ 😅😂

    I wouldn't of been seen dead in a Metro in the 80's but that one was really nice and i almost had a hankering! An affordable practical classic that can return over 40mpg - where can i sign up? Just so long as you buy 7 gallons of unleaded and a pint of waxoyl at each stop and the car will live forever!

    Does plug indexing in the A series relevant?

      That’s a good question, which I can’t answer as I have never tried it. I suspect it would work, but maybe only in maximum effort engine applications

    Please can you tell me, is there an advantage to drilling the bottom of the air box rather than the side wall?

      @@garethdavies7326 just a guess mate, but I'd say, less chance of dirt ingress?

      I'd think so that it still looks standard from a quick look in the engine bay.

      So you can’t see it.
