roof racks are gonna affect the mpg its a scientific fact![]()
what a bargainthought of second hand? mine galv with checker plate and ladder from nathan was £125+travelling to collect. Tried ebay?
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:hijacked:
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!My 110 had a **** off big rack on it when I got it. It also had a sad old 19J engine so off came the rack in a quest to improve things. Result was about 5mpg more and 10mph on the top end speed. Probably wouldn't be as noticeable with a tdi motor but with the poor old td it made a big difference.
Bugger! you got in there before me!
I too have a rack sat on me law off me 110 that i'm trying to shift.
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?![]()
