300Tdi economy
Steve ray:
only get low 20's overall - but to be honest, it's used only for off road and green laning and the pump is "turned up"
hrox:
atm i am avg 16 - 20 on my auto 98 with lots of smoke from the exhaust pritty much all the time. got info on another thread on turning the pump down and diaphram so hopefully if the weather keeps of today!
Ja1983:
my 200 manual does 30mpg, pretty much regardless of how i drive/spank it... i would suggest trying the fuel/boost increase {here} as this should hhttp://www.bobtail.org.uk/ninety/orange/ninety_19.htm the increase in power at lower revs could mean the engine isnt having to be worked as hard to get anywhere...
would perhaps suggest in looking for a manual next time.. !
Range Rover Blues:
Julie's TDi manual is doing 27/28 MPG with me hoofing at around, so I reckon it's doing well. It might get better, I pumped the tyres up yesterday :oops:
It's just had the head off, cleaned, new valve springs, valves lapped in, inlet manifold cleaned, silicone hoses, big intercooler and turbo cleaned up, it's going pretty well but smokes a bit so I'm not finished tinkering. Oh yes, it's got an electric fan on.
discowoman:
well, we have owned 3 disco's 2 300 tdi's and 1 V8....V8 was an early 89 on carbs and used to get 16 mpg round town and 24/27 on a run (better than my previous RR's) 1st 300 used to average 25mpg and the last one if driven with a light foot and generous use opf 5th managed 27mpg - but it had benen tweaked on the fuel pump and egr removed.......Friends auto used to do 30mpg no matter what, but a guy round the corner struggles to get 20 :shock:
typical land rover I suppose!!
