Arches painted in bed liner paint 1st coat :)
 
Fitted some drainage tubes on the back of my headlights , hopefully will help with slight condensation

Also fitted some heatshrink on the ends , only heated one end so water will have a lot of trouble backing up the tube

Brimmed the tank for £84 on the M5.

Just finished a 300mi jaunt.

TD5 is very quiet at 70-80mph.

Oh and also re sealed the sunroofs. ;)

Always wondered how much it would take to fill it, I use about 30 quid a week so that's all I put in
the most ive stuck in is 60 although it wasn't empty.

She was just 'orf the red.

When she's pretty much empty it takes £97 to brim it till the needle is pointing at the sky ;)

I like to fill and forget for 3 weeks! Or 3 days depending! lol ;)

Hi mate

How’s the new disco doing buddy , have u managed to work out the mpg yet

Im getting around 25/6 around town, on a run 31/2 mpg

Winter time around town it drops , think it’s because the FBH kicks in

Don’t know if u saw got a small obd2 monitor which will be interesting how they compare with the onboard mpg display or liometer in other words , lol

Glad I’ve managed to start getting the dashboard back together

Hiya Gary!

everythings great how u doin'?

She's getting 26 Town and around 30 on the Mway..

Which isn't too bad.. ;)

Considering she's a Auto D2!!

They make great motorway cruisers at 70mph and some more ;) without issue!
 
Mine costs around £110 to fill, think it was 82 x litres / 18 gallons
I have no idea how big the Disco 2 tank is TBF i'll have to check the manual!

The most I can get into it is £100 and at that it's trying to come out the filler neck lol

Do you run it down to empty?

Not bad thks

Indeed, think thats a good return considering there shaped like house bricks , soon notice dropping mpg around 80mph

I normally stay in the 1st lane , put the cruise control on and sit around 65/70 mph , don’t need to rush anywhere so poodle along with the radio on

Agree , such a nice place to be on motorways , well pleased how quiet and comfortable it is
 
Oh i'm also thinking of getting the Alive Stage 1 map done..

Being a 10p though I have to send off the ECU!! Ehh i'm sure i can get round it!!

;)

Ran it down as far as I dare, only done that a few times to get the average mpg , like to always have a min quarter tank

Once I plug that monitor in I’ll do another comparison , tank fill, onboard computer , obd monitor , will be interesting to see how close they are to the tank fill/ drop

The D2 and above make very nice motorway cruisers.

The fastest i've gone is 72mph he best MPG is at a steady 60 with CC on..

Bizarrely

The P38 produced the best MPG when it was right at max torque 2600rpm IIRC which was 75mph. 24mpg ;)
