Car is a manual choke for reference. Possibly the ignition timing is off? nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Apr 18, 2012, 8:45 PM Post #2 of 3 (2006 views) Re: 94 Rover Metro 1.1S Low MPG Sign In I'd be checking the quality of your spark. You haven't mentioned giving it a tuneup yet. 56kbs New User Apr 18, 2012, 11:51 PM Post #3 of 3 (1999 views) Re: 94 Rover Metro 1.1S Low MPG Sign In The car had a service only around 4-5k ago (Around this time last year). Had new spark plugs, new cam belt amongst other things. Although this is the case we were told welding work was done to the underside, but during the MOT recently it was found it had not been done properly, so I'm taking what works have been done with a pinch of salt now.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
