They're very economical. I wasn't on cruise all the way either and was pushing round some winding roads.
Keep on top of precat lambda and tyres pressure and you won't struggle with 40+mpg. I get 30 around town.
The electrical issues may be an earthing problem, have a route around. Unsure how how the linkages are on these kangoos but if they're similar to the clio you can get to the linkages underneath by removing the undertrays. Then try getting gears manually if you can.
Suprised you don't fancy putting in a 1*2 engine, mine gets me 43mpg down the motorway and 30 around town. They're pretty economical engines!
Might be worth joining the kangoo and kubistar owners group on Facebook. Some real helpful people on there. Post some pictures too, has your wife had...
I have a norbar one that's ace. They're meant to be one of the best wrenches you can buy (apparently). Had no issues with mine although it's out of calibration now (12 months since but I don't use it daily)
Halfords advanced are rebranded norbar or atleast used to be.
