i have started with the wife, kids and spare wheel ... kicked them out on the m1.

Road tyres, no light bar, no roof rack, no crap in the back, drive sensible and...um...I failed on all of them bar the roof rack, and on the recent lanes trip I averaged 15.9 mpg thats a 200tdi! This week I aim to improve on that now.it's my daily commute
Welcome by the way.

EGR - blank it off and bin it.

Will that help ? ...

will this cause any problems when it has an mot with the emissions

No, not presently. Just keep the part just in case the MOT rules change so you can whip it back on. I'm getting mine done soon.

Fit a front spliter and aero package, remove roof with grinder, replace TDI with a battery pack.....its a frigging landy......please tell me you did not buy it because it had great MPG!!??? Oh, and welcome

Landrovers dont do frugal! Something to do with the fact that they are shaped like a brick.

of course i didnt by it for MPG ... lol ... but if a tweek here and there can save a couple of quid with out effecting how it drives , then seems silly not too ... ??

makes it even more fun to drive !

Do a search for a post called "Sluggish Disco" which runs you through how to tune the injector pump. That will make her go like a stabbed rat and some swear that it imporves MPG but for me it just made me drive like a holligan and enjoy the power too much!
