saving fuel

Hi evey one i have heard that taking off the front prop shaft can cut down on fuel usage.and with the prices as they r i was wondering if any 1 else has done it and dose it work

Dunno if that would save you any fuel but buying a small hatchback would. WTF is the point of a 2wd Land Rover?

Thats what i said but i brought a landrover and proud of it.

You would also have to drive it with the Diff-Loc Engaged aswell to make it work, the other problem is it will become very very tail-happy around islands in the WET, that 99% of the time in the UK, lol

I have been driving a Mitsu Shogun for the last 4 weeks while my disco is being repaired, and that is 2WD (Rear) and selectable 4WD, I have found that with the 2.5TDI 112bhp Engine and a slightly lighter car it is still doing approx 30MPG and when I ran it in perm 4WD for a week it made little difference.
