How to improve economy ?

(1/3) > >>

Kenny:
Well I'm afraid to say unless I can improve this the old faithful will have to go. Discovery now gone so will be a no land rover family :(

I have a 2.5 NA 90 / 1989 and the economy is lets say cr.., sorry I mean rubbish. Is there any way this can be improved. How about putting a transit engine in, would it help ?

TIA

datalas:
Depends on what you mean by "cra...."

the 2.5 N/A we used to have did around the high twenties to early thirties on a good day, a 200 or 300 tdi should return the same...

Dave:
As daz said the 90 n/a i have is good on fuel "for what it is". I am just putting a 200 tdi in as we speak but don't think it will be as good on fuel.

What are you getting out of it? could be somthing wrong

Kenny:
35 quid lasts about 150 miles so a very quick/rough calculation puts that at about 19 to the gallon.

If it's being used around town alot, or in hilly areas, you may find the mpg drops to this. If you use it more on open roads, it should be 25-30 mpg, I reckon. I'm getting about 28mpg from my 2.5TD 90.
