    What do you get on a full tank ??

    To be honest, i think we're all kidding ourselves, I just taken the cat pipe off my 300tdi and replaced it with the defender non cat pipe for £20 and to be honest its the best 20quid ive ever spent mpg increased a gud 20% on mpg from under 20 around town to a good 24+ and i'm happy with that...

    Serviced 500 miles ago renewed the lot and even cleaned out the sedimentor, arm full of diesel but it was worth it. Was expecting great improvements but bugger all....... Clutching at straws now.

    Knackered CAT (no not the pussy type)

    Excellent! nice & cheap too, did it make any difference? My old 200tdi had a 3inch straight through system and was tremendous great noise too. Will give this alittle whirl and see what happens, Ta!

    Newbie scared witless with no brakes

    Had exactly the same fault on mine but only came on when I got newer biger tyres, strange, cleaning the sensors works a treat, but if that fails & you can't get to a garage for a few days to get it seen too just remove the fuse for the ABS under the dash, until its resolved. Not great long term...

    Newbie in for a Discovery

    Certainly don't treat mine like a car. But when I bought it & it was standard I still wasn't getting anything near 30 mpg. May remove fan that might give me an extra couple of mpg & maybe remove the cat & some of the xhaust boxes to make it breath a bit better, feels strangled at the moment &...
