Hi AXMonster -

Is your Citroen diesel or petrol?

Interesting resume tidbit. I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask!

Its a petrol (sadly). I was going to convert it to LPG but haven't done it yet. Perhaps a diesel would have been a better starting point.

I did have a Daihatsu charade 1.0 Turbo Diesel a few years ago that I managed 79 mpg out of. Perhaps I should find another and really get to work on it

I'd be happy to answer any questions you'd like to ask. Perhaps by PM or in a new thread (don't want to go too off topic on this thread).

I'll also be in the market for one in a couple of months. That is assuming it will work on a 1992 Corolla, auto.

Sorry to hijack Pillzilla, but what the heck.. everybody else is doing it. I'm also interested in a SuperMID for my 92 Civic.

Vacuum issues general

My big family car is a 1.3L Honda Jazz(Fit) with the CVT, when I had an after-market universal cruise control fitted it had a problem where it would work but then run out of steam on a hill, I believe the problem was due to the small engine capacity and the constant low revs as a result of the CVT the vacuum reservoir was not being replenished quickly enough so as there was not enough vacuum pressure the cruise control would switch off. The Solution they the installer came up with was a second vacuum reservoir tank, Now my Jazz has 2 reservoir's and the cruise control has never failed me even on big hills. Hope this info helps someone.

I would love to see a group order or something of Super MIDs, I would buy one if I knew how.
