and returns as good or better fuel economy. Makes the Tdi seem somewhat redundant tbh.
My Uncles D2 Td5 is better on fuel than his 300Tdi 90, or my 200Tdi Disco.Really? Never seen a TD5 which returns better economy than a Tdi.
Most people report around 25mpg for their TD5s
35mpg from a Tdi is unheard of unless someone is making it up, whereas 30 is standard for a Tdi, and 35+ is not unheard of.
How doesn't it? :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:Not sure how that would make the Tdi redundant, anyway![]()
Wouldn't want to work on a TD5 either, too complicated and way too much electronics going on for the home mechanic.

32-33mpg maybe. 25-28mpg much more likely, or in the case of mine 19-21mpg

Yeah, they are so so scary.....almost like working on any other car produced in the past 25-30 years

Hi. I actually replied to you yesterday... but for some reason my reply seems to have gone!Well Matey I'm with Langers on this one!
I have a TD5 and a 200tdi Def, and the 200tdi will beat the TD5 for better fuel consumption all day every day.
Although I realy do like the TD5, the 200tdi is better to work on (more room) no electrickery, easy to get going again when need be, and hence the reason it's the one that's takeing us to Morocco this summer.
I reckon your uncles pulling your leg![]()
32mpg, bet yours doesn't smoke though.No way a TD5 should do more mpg than a Tdi, not if both are standard vehicles. I personally get a regular 32mpg out of my 200 Tdi, and that's in a 110, running 50/50 veg oil!
Yep, the Disco was on big mud tyres. In fairness touring it'd do 24 maybe even 26mpg. Round home though much more like 21-22mpg, 19 was an all time low.Unless you have massive mud tyres etc, 19mpg is way too low, even if you are thrashing it around. I would suggest you look into what could be causing that, because it should be giving you 27-28 at the bare minimum. If it's standard that is.
Have to say, it always amazes me how Landy owners are so scared of ECU's. It might be accepted by the vast majority...... but I think it needs a sub text though.There is no denying the fact that a Tdi is a far easier and far more forgiving beast to work on than a TD5 - it's just simple plain fact and accepted by the vast majority.
Not redundant as an engine to use. Just redundant when a poll is asking for the best.And I still fail to see how any of this makes the Tdi redundant. The TD5 only does one thing better than the Tdi and that's produce more power. Perhaps you should look into the meaning of the word?![]()
wot defender has a tdv6?:doh:what no TDV6 option?well guess it have to be the TD5 for power and the TDCi for the box
