Right !!!
My Defender has the mildest tune that Alli-Sport do.I took the car down to have it done.
What have I found.
Well I THINK it's better to drive.More drivable shall I say.More low down torque where I think it's needed.
I have also removed the center silencer. I think I have more [again] low down torque.
I generally keep the revs down to less than 2300 !!!!!!
The last full fuel check that was done was when we were in southern africa. We had the car to at least 2.4 tonnes.Well over the GVW.
We had a return of just over 26 mpg for that trip inspite of the crap fuel over there.Mainly because I tend to keep the revs down and use the extra [??] torque.
I must also admit to using Millers diesel additive.
It can still be good fun at the traffic light GP though !!!

When I first had my 2.5 n/a it was low on power and to get up some hills round where I live you find yourself squeezing that throttle alot thus loads of fuel used. After a pump tweak I found it alot better on fuel and hills not so much of a challenge.
When ya tune things ya power saves ya fuel if ya use ya brains....
Now I have fitted a 200tdi out of a disco and I just cant but not floor it...lol

OK, My engines not a Land Rover one. 2.8 Isuzu turbo. I've had an Ally Sport interooler fitted and they tweaked the turbo. Before it was done I was averageing 28-30 mpg. Mixed driveing with some towing. Caravan, mini digger, twin axle trailer. Now I'm getting 33 mpg, runs smoother and gear changes are made earlier and low down pulling power is improved. Wish mine was. :wink: Hey miniman! I've copy right on the Defra thing. :D Glad you like it. :wink:
