It most certainly is Storm, it most certainly is

A good service helps. Mine did 41mpg after a major service, done with quality parts, and good quality oil.

Ahhh Johnny Boy that's what i like to hear, lets see how it goes then, service continues today

where had my brain gone on the litres/gallons thing??? must have too much Strongbow that night...

:beer2:

anyhoo, for what its worth, mine gets about 35mpg on average, strangely much better when the weather is warmer, in the winter it drops to about 32, warm summer 38 (ish)

ah yeah, i'm hoping for better results now.. oil and filter changed sat and already i can see and feel a difference!! the oil filter and oil must not have been changed for years, the engine guard was a **** take to get off, so it was well worth that flush!!
gonna do another flush n change in 6 months and hope thats the last of the crud out!!

I WILL make it more pocket effecient haha

Hi! I`m new owner of freelander 2.0 td4, 2001. as well as new user of this site Have a problem with high fuel consumption of 11 to 14l per 100km! When this problem appired I was looking for an answer and read on a site that I can turn off the fuel flow meter, which will reduce consumption. Is it true? If anyone knows, please HELP!!! P.S. Sorry for my not so well English, but I hope we`ll understand!
