Thanks for feedback people - I did not buy it for economy, far from it, having had land rovers for several years now I am all to familiar with their unique aerodynamics and foibles but even I struggled with 16mpg from a td5 with only 90k on the clock. Taking all into account looks like I will...

Ping Pong Ball or Egg - let me think :)..................... well its not as if I hammer it everywhere, in fact my commute to work is pretty much through suburbia so not much chance... the CAT has been removed (before I bought the motor) would that make much or any difference ??:cool: Also no...

Thanks guys I thought as much as my old 300Tdi returned a lot better economy - did I say it was an auto would that make much difference.... Ok so if its low- critical question is I suppose what can I do to check or improve it ??

Am I expecting a bit much to want more than 16 mpg out of a 52 plate Td5 Disco 2 - usage is mostly short hops in an out of work etc - not too bad on a run.... begining to think I should have bought a V8 - at least it would have sounded nice :D.

Timely find - thanks
