I like the thinking but I’ve already swapped it with another one from a friends disco MAP is also reading ok on the snappy box however I have yet to test it like resistance etc but the reading is correct

Yea she pulls well I thinks, especially for her age, EGR has been blanked first thing I did when I brought it like within a week:);)

Unfortunately not, I’ve been through checked all the lines checked for any moisture or dampness and even pressure tested the head!! Yes it was professional but still proved it held pressure.

Yes I do have to agree I don’t believe it’s the oil that’s caused this as it ran on it for around 6-7 months before hand on that 0w-40 doing 31-32 mpg

?? Are you suggesting it’s using that oil that’s caused the drop in fuel economy because I ran it on that oil for 7 months and it was fine at the time doing 31-32 mpg before I noticed it drinking fuel?

Exactly my friend , well it’s high quality oil we run it in all our fleet at work, so why not ‍♂️ Arh yea what was she like ok start up on that stuff? Fair enough I’ve so far done 22,000 all on that 0/40 and I quite the stuff seems to clean it when it drains aswell

Well for one it provides better protection on start up, if you go through the oil specifications JD oil has more additives to help provide more protection on start up, furthermore, the up to temperature viscosity is correct as to LR recommendations. Also it’s still fully synthetic so still have...

Well I serviced it, run genuine oil filters, John Deere fully synthetic 0w-40, and Mayle fuel filters, in addition I changed the injector harness and rocker cover gasket, I’ve since changed the injector harness to a genuine LR one thinking it might be that but no, apart from that she hasn’t been...

Ok many thanks I definitely will try that cheers, I just thought it was strange as it literally went like a switch from 620 to 500 miles a tank.

You mean for binding callipers? Well calliper service is on the list of jobs but they all seem to spin freely when up in the air like can’t feel any if not much drag

And btw it’s running a VDO MAF sensor and is reading fine on snap on box

No tyres were still the same general grabbers AT air filter is clean and brand new even tried a Kone to see if it made a difference and no; Arh I managed to get hold of a good secondhand intercooler from a friend and had it pressure tested for good measure as i wasn’t paying the price for a new one

Well I ran it for two fuel tanks worth on a new proven good genuine LR maf sensor and MAP sensor and no difference, oh ok so I see I’ll check them later, no performance doesn’t seem to be affected at all still running ok, and no the clutch doesn’t slip I’ve been before now towing (not usually)...

Yes bid it obviously verified slightly when I went greenlaning but usually I was getting about 620 miles to a tank which is five or take a couple 88-92 litres or there abouts and what I was putting in was about 89 litres each time which works out between 31-32 mpg?
