200 or 300 tdi
muddyjames:
I have a 300tdi auto and get roughly 23mpg solo. Dr ed on here has a 200tdi manaual and easily gets 30mpg.
If I ever bought a disco again (which I wont be when this one dies as I am fed up of the damn thing) I would get a 300tdi and put a 200tdi engine in so you get the newer interior but the better engine.
muddydisco:
Well i've got a 300 tdi and it does 30 mpg all day long with mud-terrians :D But I remember one Instance of a 300 tdi going through deep water and water got into the timing case cover and the oil pump sucked up the water and goosed the engine. So in theory the 200 is better because the oil pump is located in a different place :|
Les Henson:
I would say that the 200TDi is a better engine - less mechanical problems than the 300. Getting a decent one is getting harder as they are an old engine now.

I have bfg at's. I think it could be the auto that makes it do bad mpg.
turbonutter:
id have to say the 200 is a beter motor , but in a 300 truck !
i had a 300 in my disco and thought it was rubbish compared to a mates 90 with a 200
the 200 revs beter and has more low end grunt
