I was surprised while buying a new Disco Sport just how similar all the LR vehicles were f ... |

The top hinge on my rear door has seized up. It's only 2 years old, genuine LR, so not impressed right now.
I've added loads of penetrating oil but it's still very stiff. Looks like the ... |

Is your Puma a 110 rather than a 90? Big difference in fuel tank size.
On my Td5 90, I would get 325 miles to a tank with a light right foot.
On my 110 2.2, I easily get 440 driving in a similar sty ... |

As you're working as a limited company, you almost certainly have an accountant. Ask them, it's what you pay them for.
