roof racks are gonna affect the mpg its a scientific fact
what a bargain
alright mate
got a 110 roofrack sitting in me garden if you want it. been sitting there for a few months and i got another one so could do with getting rid of it, got the original reciept - john craddock so not a ****ty one either!
oh, and its in bucks, beaconsfield to be precise, so its only about a 40 minute drive from you
make me an offer
like I said 33mpg out of my 110csw 200tdi disco transfer box, 70mph south london to notts
like carpy, mine is a brownchurch one as well.
cannot argue with facts
Can argue, there's no way that with the rack on you achieve the same mpg. Even if the difference is 1 or 2 mpg. Can't argue with the laws of physics
That depends on the speed you travel atroof racks are gonna affect the mpg its a scientific fact
Same here!
That depends on the speed you travel at
Because the land rover is heavy the wind resistance does not affect it as much as say a luton transit.
Rolling resistance plays a bigger part.
Dont know the figures exactly but the wind resistance begins to affect a luton transit above about 25 mph where as a fully loaded artic aint affected until about 50 mph.
you work it out
suffice to say that if you are trundling about local then the roofrack will make no difference.
I did a trip to Glasgow with car trailer to pick up a vehicle and bring it back. I removed the roofrack but it made no difference as I travelled between 45 and 55. Still only did 9mpg round trip.
Well, you may as well leave yours on wi that V8!
I reckon the next upgrade on yours should be a nice big satellite dish, or maybe a sail?
