To be honest it didn't surprise me what was in the tank- over 6,000 litres of fuel would had gone through it by then. But he wouldn't have even picked up 10% of the cr@p due to not going below 1/2. Since then he has linked going below 1/2 a tank to problems- so guess what he is doing again!!! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Having read the heading I began reading, hoping it referred to 500 lb/ft+ of torques!

I seem to average around 27mpg, I don't hang about and worry about gear changes and I tend to stick to 60mph max, to be honest I don't particularly enjoy thrashing around in a vehicle with a high centre of gravity and knobbly tyres, if I fancy going fast I will put the back Elise on the road - that does 40mpg and no-one believes that! Very Happy
I do find that if I use the Defender for the commute to Milton Keynes I tend to be overtaking most vehicles on the way into and out of the roundabouts, I think I may drive faster upto 60 than I realise sometimes Rolling with laughter

Everyone has their driving style and I love pottling about in the defender, if it did 40 mpg I'd be over the moon but I know it'll never happen. My old Disco always did 25mpg, when I took the winch, ARB bumper and changed the MTRs to ATs it was doing 28mpg, shame I'd been driving with that extra weight on for 7yrs Banging Head Rolling with laughter Shocked Darren

Just went to fuel up at 30,005.00 miles - burnt a total of 848.1 Gallons in 18 month, which give me awesome mileage Smile - and no, there is nothing broken and yes, I checked the speedo and it has less then 1% deviation.

I'm guessing you drive even slower than myself. was just looking at my last tankful when your post came through - I've achieved a poor 30mpg

Everything completely as delivered - but running 90+% BP/ARAL ultimate diesel, which I found to be more effective, up to about 5% better compared to standard diesel. Never forget: cars have owner, Landrover have field service personnel.

I think I'm getting to the bottom of my engine problems. I've spotted a re-occuring problem. the economy starts off really well on each tank full then deteorates rapidly halfway through the tank and then improves again.??

look hear....


Click image to enlarge

great - 150 miles and not even a quarter of a tank. so if my engine was to run consistently well I'd be getting over 600 miles on a tankfull?

I fill up to almost the bottom of the filler tube. Do 100 miles to the 1/4 empty mark - 50 of which are before the needle goes on the scale. Then 150 - 160 miles to 1/2 empty. 3/4 empty I'm on around 260 & getting nervous. Usually about 300 by the time the ping & yellow light warn me to refill. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.
