hi my mates buying a freelander 2 ltr diesel ,he,s asking how many miles to the gallon will he get.
thanks
This is rubbish. Both engines are pretty much the same on fuel - if anything the L Series will generally be better. Both will give you roughly 40 on the open road and both will drop down towards 30 in heavy traffic cold stop/starting. I've never got close to 30mpg in my L Series - always much closer to 40. Add an auto box on the TD4 and pump 20% more fuel.L-series - at least 30mpg
TD4 - around 40mpg
Cheers

I recon those lights are like an air brake! If the car's pushing those along, its going to affect consumption more than the weight of the rack.do not know why your car is rubbish but if you find out let me know mind you the wife keeps saying I drive to fast and I must admit if she drive we get better fuel economy ,also I suppose that heavy roof rack and lights may be my problem but hopefully this year I can get the time to make a roof rack out of alloy.
