Td4 Fuel Consumption - What to Expect

Hi

I am about to buy my first freelander - a 2005 5 door td4 and just wondered if any current owners could give me an idea of fuel consumption?

How big is the fuel tank and how many £££'s worth of diesel does it hold and roughly how long does that last on mostly urban mileage?

Would be really grateful for any replies.

THANKS

Joll

Plenty of posts in here concerning this.
You should get around 35mpg around town. I think the tank is about 60 litres. As for how much ££££'s it will hold, you do the math

Welcome to Landyzone by the way

Between 33-38mpg on mixed driving, light foot.

A full tank is around £60 which I have just got around 470 miles out of on mixed driving. My freelander only has a 1000 miles on so hoping this will improve.

Hope this is of help.

Welcome to the forum! Mine is an old L series Diesel Freelander and I get a regular 480ish miles per tank (Mine holds £42 at a push)

fookin blimey!!!! from red light to red light (fuel warning light not traffic lights!!) I get 400 miles give or take 10 miles - approx 4 months old with getting on for 8000miles on clock

It all depends on your right foot.

Thats the strange thing Jerry, in my case, it doesn't!!!!! For some bizarre reason i always get anything from 390 to 410 miles from a tank, whether driving like a nob, pootling along following Discoverys , or towing - always the same mileage. Ok its an auto which will have some effect but it does seem odd

I think the auto bit is the answer, as it always ( or should ) have the best gear selected for the conditions.

I never get above 360

Mine never got above 240 miles

But it went like stink and sounded awesome

Is that 360 chips to the gallon?

Yes she did. But I have my company car now which drinks diesel I don't buy

In my normal style I'm getting 350 miles to a tank (27ish mpg) when concentrating 440+ miles and over 35mpg.

Thanks for all the replies. I can't believe how much it differs, 240 - 470 miles is some gap! Oh please let me get a 470-480 mile per tank one!!!!!!!

dont forget joll - the 240 miles refers to a V6 Petrol ;-)

my 2001 td4 takes 51 or so pounds to fill up i drive from old harlow to london and back 5 times a week with the foot quite heavy to the ground and i still have about half a tank at the end of the week my td4 was giving me bad returns a first purchase i thought f--k it i should have kept the gas converted laguna but after putting some diesel injector cleaner in the petrol tank it runs like a dream i have been told by my machanic friend that you can put something in the engine to clean this as well i would not change my td4 for anything love it

Good man ,top dog. . .
