Hello
I have a landrover freelander td4 auto 54 reg
I absolutely love it but I'm only getting 18 mpg!
I mostly do town driving but I'm pretty sure I should get more than that, the old disco I had before the freelander did more than that!!
Has any of you guys out there got any suggestions of to what it might be??
I just don't want to take it to a garage and ripped coz I'm a woman!
Any response and suggestion very welcome

Hi bianca!
Totally know where you are coming from. I understand a bit but don't have the "brawn" to do stuff myself. Anyhow 18mpg sounds not a lot, both my old 300tdi and my new td5 do more than that and I do short runs regular and often.

Now we are all for those who help themselves and as 110woman will tell you we take the ****- but will help those who try to help themselves.

turbo hoses a start, if you briefly floor it from idle has it lots of black smoke?
