Nothing wrong with "red-line" driving mk1... Thumbs Up

Incidentally the fuel pump is 171k miles old as well. The only thing that I have done is cleaned it about 4/5 years ago now.

Driving steadily at 50 miles per hour, admittedly with a 2 inch lift and a full roof rack, running bf Goodrich 265’s and I’m only getting 240ish miles per full tank in a 2003 td5 90.
I’ve just dropped my defender in for a remap, larger intercooler and new springs, shocks etc. I will report back on how many miles I get per tank. Hopefully 300! Or more. Very Happy

After a remap and a larger intercooler you could be worse... depends how much you "enjoy" the right foot action... Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

I get probably 320-340 until the gauge reads as geoblokes does.

Hannibal roof rack, 2" lift, and I tend to cruise at 70-75 though...

Oh, 265/75 tyres as well!

Last Saturday I did a 500 mile day...

110, family of 4 plus dog and luggage, 4 bar Rhino roof rack, Michelin Latitude 7.5R16, cruising at 55mph

I got 348 miles from 49.4 litres!

So that would be about 425 to a tank...
