very low mpg

hello everyone


I think I have a Land Rover series 2, 2A or 3.

The miles per gallon is very low and i mean very low at just over one mpg.


Is there any way i can sort this. The Landy is for off roading only.



Cheers Ali

Hi is it a 2.25 petro engine ?

thanks alot

tek ur carb off get a bucket and knock an ole innit then bolt that on yer manifold then fill it up should run to a better mpg.....lol..
any way any idea wot carb is fitted cus even a knackered zenith/solex should give better than 1 mpg,any black smoke from exhaust?smell of petrol?checked plugs?are they black and sooted up?
closest thing i ever came across was a 109 series 3 with a warped zenith carb on it doing about 5 mpg...replaced carb all sorted

My old Zenith had poor economy but the newer Weber is far better
