Mileage left when the light comes on

On a 2002 TD5 discovery when the fuel light comes on how far can you go?

I have been brave enough to go 41 miles so far, what about everyone else?

Regards,

That depends on your fuel consumption at the time, theres around two gallons left in the tank when the light comes on.

Well it's "supposed" to be 9 ltrs, so 2 gallons, so that should 50-60 mls.

i can confirm from experience that on a 200 tdi i can do 65 miles from the light coming on to running out of diesel , i drove past 1 garage and tried getting to my local asda to save 1p a litre and run out in between . cost me a lot more cos the guy in the garage charged me £10 for a fuel can ,rip off bastard but lucky enough i put some diesel in and she started on first turn of the key

Every vehicle is different. I just drained the tank on a 200tdi disco. The guage was just above the red with the light on and I got 5 gallons out of it.
