Whato all! We have discussed this before, but I am getting 26mpg in my EDC AUTO 300Tdi Disco on a run. How's this compare wif anybody elses? Also, has anybody removed their CAT and had an improvement in performance etc?

TA very mush.   8)

I used to get up to 32mpg out of my 200Tdi manual, but with the TD5 manual I gave up measuring it when it was consistently coming in below 25mpg  :x

thermidorthelobster:
By the way, travelling in convoy with 200Tdis and 300Tdis, it was clear that although my chipped TD5 could out-pull them up hills, it wasn't by much, and there were certainly times when they would pull away from me through a better choice of gears.

I'd say that in a drag-race between a well-sorted 300Tdi Defender and my chipped TD5 Discovery, there wouldn't actually be that much in it, apart from I'd spew out less smoke.

My point is that I have a more expensive, less economical engine which doesn't have much more performance and is less rugged (eg water ingress) - that's progress I guess.

muddyweb:
26 sounds about right for a 300 auto I'd say.

My 200 Manual was always on 27 mpg, seemingly no matter how I drove it.  The 300 should be slightly better, but you loose that advantage with the auto box.

robbie:
300TDi around 26 is the same as mine, but my mate borrowed it and got 553 miles out of a tank . . . . . . . .
