Landrover Diesels MPG??

[maddave]

Does anyone have a rough idead as to the difference in miles per gallon between a normally aspirated 2.5 diesel
Turbo Diesel 2.5
and the 2.5 TDi

Ive heard the difference between the Turob Diesel and the TDi is negligible but what about the normally aspirated engine??

Any help greatly appreciated :-D

I tend to get about 450-475 miles out of a full tank (only the one)
on the 110 before the needle is too far into the red for my liking. 300TDi.

Can't remember what the cap is offhand... :-(

Dave,

Over the years I've had 3 Land Rovers with TDi engines. The 2 with 200 TDi's gave 30-34mpg, the 300 gives 28-30. I think I'd avoid the 2.5 turbo personally, I've heard too mush bad about them over the years. My first choice is the 200TDI, as long as its been well looked after, especially timing belts and oil changes.

Try looking over at www.landroverenthusiast.com

My TD5 S11 Disco gets about 30mpg, bit more on a run, but ask my wife and she will say' 1000's of miles to a tank, I've never had to fill it up since it was bought'. I wonder why ?.

I get about 28mpg out of my 2.5TD.

It not that bad an engine you've just got to keep on top of the oil and coolants - use good quality oil I change mine every 3000 miles to be certain, but I off a fair bit off road as well

These are top oils and very reasonable - sold by owners for owners:

Wow - I'm dreaming. A full tank of petrol barely gets me down the road!

Hey, maddave, you know why the Army have two tanks in their Landies ...


... one to get to where they are going to and one to get back!

Well, I don't know how well it would react to a full tank of petrol :shock:
V6? Or just a very long road?

V8 ... and a short road!

 

[ESpy]

Oops. Possibly confusing it with the Freelander's engine... I lose track. TD4, TD5, V6, V8, 2.25l, 2.5D, 2.5TD, 200TDi, 300TDi - what have I missed (apart from all the Series engines)?

My 2.5 TD5 is doing about 24 mpg on average.
The best thing about it is it makes me appreciate my VW T4 van's even more!

 

[bushwacker bob]

I had a Freelander TD4.managed to average about 29 mpg with it. It did tow very well tho' and was impresive off road (not that I'd take a company car off road) My own toy is a 3.5 V8 range rover. on a good day,with the AC turned off,I get a whooping 16 mpg out of it.

 

[Great Pebble]

Dunno about the MPG but if it's a 2.5 NA. Don't plan on being anywhere in a hurry....

 

[slyfox]

i get 500 miles from a tank (£65) in my Disco 300Tdi with MT's on and i do boot it.

 

[AntarcticFire]

I manage around 350Miles out of a 60L tank on my Defender 90 TD5... but I
fitted an GKN Overdrive and a Kenlowe Electric fan to try and help it be more
economical as I do a LOT of motorway miles.

My Tdi and 2.25 nat asp diesel both manage around 25-30 mpg. Of course, the Tdi is at least 30% quicker than the nat asp diesel, so if I drove slower it'd probably be more economical than the older truck. Don't forget to allow for speedo innacuracy when calculating mpg, and bear in mind that some filling station pumps click off sooner than others.

I've just been out in a Lincoln Royale. According to the computer, it's averaging 14mpg. Worst I got was 3mpg going up the big hills on the A465. Just to cheer up all the Range Rover V8 owners ....
