    v8i economy

    I used to average 14-15 on LPG on the 4.0, the 4.6 is doing just over 16mpg.

    Disco 2 as a tow car

    As others have said keep the SLS it's so much better for towing than coils.

    Smelly Disco

    What e said! Mine doesn't move a jot even when flooring it up reasonably steep hills, even when I had block problems.

    v8i economy

    Realisticly around 18mpg average. My Discovery now has a 4.6 and while running in we managed up to 22mpg, now it does a bit less, that loud pedal is too tempting even for my wife.

    Anyone ever thought about running their V8 on Kerosene?

    It was actually a BL/Perkins collaboration. They had head and cooling problems, which were surmountable but money problems and reorganisation within BL, led to BL pulling out of the project. Perkins did try to take it forward with just technical support from BL but when that too was withdrawn...

    General Grabber AT2?

    Yep the new AT has been designed to comply with EU noise regs but supposedly it's still as good off-road. The NEW General Grabber AT

    New engine playng up.

    Update. Got her back and she is running fine now, problem was caused by a broken wire from knock sensor to ECU. Do have another problem though the rear O2 sensors are not working, now from what I understand these are just a backup to the front ones and are of no real consequence if the front...

    New engine playng up.

    Right it seems the old girl had two separate problems, the falling of in fuel economy on LPG was caused by undersized vaporiser and pipes all sorted now and the strange fuel trim/pressure fluctuations have been cured. However we still have this misfire/stuttering around 1500 revs, it's not...

    Sheer might of the disco!!!

    Quickest way to invalidate your insurance, unless you have the appropriate cover, as most polices prohibit hire and reward.

    Disco 1 & 110 SW load capacity

    Is about the right answer, I would have said the 110 has possibly a larger volume but it certainly has a more usable space.

    New engine playng up.

    Petrol solved loose lead round the back of the engine but LPG is still playing up but we do know the problem, vaporiser is rated for 120kw the 4.6 is 160plus KW, may have to uprate other parts of the gas system too:(

    4.0 V8 Performance Upgrades?

    Never said it was but it does depend on what you are using it for, mine is a working vehicle (farm) so it would be useless however as a fast road car could be a hoot once you got it going.

    v8 d1 miles to tank ?

    Cruise at 60mpg and you should be able to get 20plus mpg so as Nathan says a tankfull eachway.

    v8 lpg mpg

    Which is just over 18 to the gallon which is very good, manual or auto? best I achieved on the old engine was around 17 that was motorway driving at around 60mph. Which from what others have said and from my own experience is fairly typical mpg for mixed driving on a 3.9/4.0. The 4.6 did do...

    Miles per gallon

    Bit of an exaggeration that, the difference is usualy less than 10% between most auto and manual versions of the same vehicle. Official figures: 300tdi Man: 28mpg Auto:27mpg TD5 Man: 30mpg Auto:28mpg 4.0 V8 Man: 17mpg Auto:16mpg
