With a V8???? :shock: - I do drive the Disco like it wants to be an Impreza - but I think my MPG is pretty standard....
Only gain about 0.5 mpg on motorways travelling at indicated 70 mph instead of 80-85 so not worth bothering slowing down :wink:
I like the bucket idea Dave - but it smacks somewhat of desperation :lol:
grizz:
interesting mod, so if I put a bucket under each side at the back i'll get an extra 10 miles, was told earlier if I loose one of the boot seats a tank will go nicely in there, I think I'm going to have to trawl the internet an see what I can find at what price.
Dave:
TBR do long range tanks there are bound to be many other. If you have any fabricaters local ask them if they will make one to you sizes like on the trial vehicles. Does anyone know if its leagel to do that though or has it got to have a stamp of some sort.
grizz:
Dave, did you put the kenlowe fan on your series III an did you notice any differance in fuel consumption, I take it the series III also has a viscous fan like the disco
Dave:
Sorry mate it was already on so don't now any different. Cliff "digsit" has put one on charity a disco 200tdi and said it was a lot better.
