Actually, having checked my notes from that trip, that figure is incorrect. It used one litre. The gearbox leaked more (1.8l in fact) so perhaps that was the culprit! The Pearl has another one, now.
I looked back over the Spain trip in the Chummy - it used a very similar amount over less mileage but the gearbox became very incontinent after crossing the Pyranees - it was a very hot day on the final climb and I spent a very long time in first gear. I was of the opinion that it has blown a seal, that car has a new box too!
