    Merv, how did that happen? Was it due to contact with an obstacle?
    Cheers,

    No contact with any external object, Land Rover are scratching their collective heads on this one, they have no idea. It was originally thought that there may have been a blocked breather hose but apparently not, they just can't explain what has happened. It originally started with the fuel gauge working intermittently and the car went back twice to have this rectified which was a fail, they then killed the dash with a software upgrade to try to fix and then on the third time back they discovered the collapse. The last time I filled the car all I could get in from empty was 43 litres to fill. Apparently there is a bulletin notice in relation to the fuel gauge problem on all RRS and D4's from 2010, so keep an eye on it.

    Cheers

    Hi all,

    Thank you for all the feedback. My biggest gripe is the small tank. For Aus, why not have an option for 100 litre tank.

    Regards

    Gerald

    Too difficult to re-design and retest for such a relatively small market. I suspect it's 82L (according to the handbook) due to space limitations.

    Pardon my ignorance on thsi matter CaverD3 but does the spare wheel need to be removed for fititng of a LR tank? If so, where do owners usually put 'em?

    cheers

    I got to test my 3.0's kms to empty yesterday. 83.33L to the brim was registered at my local servo after the distance to empty changed to zero half a km up the road. My lighter throttle driving didn't reduce consumption enough in the head-wind to leave a comfortable reserve. The low fuel warning occurred at 29 kms to empty with consumption hovering around 16L/100kms at the time.
