What I'm doing is brimming the tank, zeroing the clock and working out from 1 fill to the next an average. Currently 24mpg although have seen 13mpg, that was in Russia where fuel is available at about 25p a litre, have to agree with storm on the disco tranny box, be careful what size tyres you run with a disco box as 5th gear is barely useable and it can bugger up towing stuff.

43.64 mpg??
This I find very, very hard to believe...
me too and £45 would only about half fill my tank.
mine is currently running along the lines of about 100 miles to £20 whatever that works out as.

prob about right. Used the calc above and got around 27-28 @ 1.20/1.22 a litre but since im doing a lot more town miles at the mo you could be closer.
that and like a lot of 90/110s my fuel gauge has a mind of its own
Exactly the same as my TD5 110 DCPU! But in the summer it definately seems to go further?
Glad i found this thread as i thought there was something wrong with my Landy!

Eeeek! Filled up today seems i did about 23mpg! Then again i have been lugging around some tyres and rims in the back for what seems like ages..
Whats the price of fuel in your area? I saw 130.9 for diesel today...!!

i put a disco trans box on me 90, one of the best things ive done.
running on 265 x 85s, pulls like a good un in 5th even up hill, and when towing.
ive a 200tdi in it.

Hmm..i have 235/85's...5th is little more than a 'holding' gear, as in no extra speed gained, and at slightest incline i have to go back down to 4th...strange..

Sounds exactly like mine which (i think) is standard
Unless the previous owner lied to me Did you notice much change when you got it fitted?

I never had the Disco T box on before..i did the 200tdi conversion from a N/A and threw a new fender gb on at same time...tbh i'd like to hear from anyone with the fender gb and t-box as a comparison...i get 25-28mpg and top speed of 70mph..i'm sure it ought to have another 10mph in it but 70's the limit...i keep it to 60mph most of the time. I'm not bothered about top end, its a tractor, but i'm slightly disapointed with the mpg, its the same as the N/A.

I get very similar mpg (maybe slightly more) and its a 110 with roof rack on and 200tdi engine. I have got it to around 84 mph before but i dont like doing it, i feel very sorry for my engine it makes a heck of a din and it takes about 2 miles with a tailwind to get that.. Mind you we have absolutely no hills in cambridgeshire...

Well I cant complain about acceleration..it skips thru the gears up to 60-65mph no prob..mind you denmark is as flat as your neck of the woods..and the engine is sweet..actually can hold a conversation as opposed to shouting when i had the N/A..
I'm going to do a few checks of the turbo and pipes as soon as the metal monkeys stop falling out of the trees!

'cept 1 right by where i live which blocks almost all mobile phone and radio signal and means i have to start in a crawl in 4th gear whenever i go to work :doh::doh:
