    500 miles on one tank. Anyone done better..?

    No offence to your local indie but they probably buy fuel from the same places the supermarkets do which is the cheapest place possible.

    500 miles on one tank. Anyone done better..?

    I say "combined" the majority of trips would be sub 20 miles with a log 'un now and again. I also found that I would get at least 10% less mpg if I bought the fuel from a supermarket.

    500 miles on one tank. Anyone done better..?

    on my 200tdi disco from pretty much empty to the brim would give us 600 miles combined. I always figured this to be about right, with a 200tdi running well it should return 30mpg and the tank brimmed is about 20gal, 20x30=600.

    Is this right or Is it a ringer

    In your own words "its a series by the looks of things although a 3 not a 2......" So as you say it's mostly a series 3, with the engine out of something else and the body off a defender. I still say it ain't kosher in one way or another.

    series 2 id

    If you can prove it was done before the new rules came in you might get away with keeping the original id but if it was done recently it would have to have an iva and would be q plated. I'd stay away unless the seller has a lot of documentation to prove the rebuild.

    Ceramic Electric heater

    ah that explains the bad reviews then. The chap I sold mine to has been in touch and is very happy with it. So the answer is to make sure you get the 300watt version not the 180. BB, check yours is the 300watt version before you try and flog it;)
