Can some one please help me on my fuel erconomy. I own a 1996 discover 3.9 with 269km on clock.

Im constantly getting about 28-30l/100km. Is this abnormal.??? I drive it like a pensionner and rearely get her past 2000rpm. Very mild traffic. No towing. Slightly larger wheels. Pnly me driving. Leads and plugs and fuel filter changed. Air box clean...! Helllpppp its sending me broke... !!

Would fuel inj be that much of a culprit. Air intake appears to be intack. Im lost???!!

Any assistance would be much appreciated!!!

1. ECU temperature sender. It lives near the no.1 fuel injector and has the same kind of plug. The sender should have a resistance of around 300 ohms between its two pins when the engine is warm.

2. Ignition timing. set the timing at 10 degrees BTDC at idle and check that both the distributor vacuum advance and the mechanical advance are working. Vacuum advance capsules can be replaced, a seized mechanical advance may require dismantling to work again. You should put one drop of oil under the rotor button every 10 000km to keep it lubricated.

The Land Rover boys will send you broke quicker. It' all pretty basic stuff and can be a good learning experience to have a go your self. If you need any help or info just ask, people on here can talk you through it. There are some other checks you can do be see how you go with the one you have and get back to us.

My 300tdi auto only gets 14L/100km's round town, mind you i don't exactly drive it like a granny, so it's kind of expected, thats about the only reason i want to upgrade to a td5 manual, oh and the fact i could sit on the speed limit on hills haha
