    Time on the dash was a feature of the MY07-on D3. I had it on my MY07 D3.

    That is a different issue as you loose the time irrespective where it is displayed on the command display.

    Just further proof that even a old D3 is a superior vehicle to a RRS ...

    and $50k cheaper!!!

    FWIW my clock is in the top LHS of the display too MY08 D3 TDV6 ....

    6km/100 mmmm I wish! I was considering an ECU upgrade, forget who through but it wa one where you plugged the gadget into the ECU port, it downloaded the current mapping and it was sent off for tweaking then came back and again plug the gadget in and it uploaded.

    I did not go ahead as like others I am concerned at how it might affect the long term life of the engine and especially the turbo.

    Andrew,

    I have a 2.7 tdv6 D3 with about 90,000 on the clock.

    I have a bar and winch as well as a set of steel sliders but not RWC/ long rant tank, snorkel or awning. However I always take the roof racks when not in use (mostly to fit into work parking).

    Since I fitted the bar and winch the fuel consumption has gone up by around 0.5 - 1.0l/100km from say 8.5/9.0 to 9.0 /9.5l for highway touring. Maybe a bit more of an increase for around town 9.5/100 to 11.00/100.

    So an increase to 11l/100km with some extra gear fitted sounds about right, particularly when you carriy stuff on the roof. I notice about 0.5l/100km increase whenever I put bikes on the roof for a holiday.

    For day to day, strip as much off, take out any recovery gear you only need off road and keep the weight down and the profile clean.

    In terms of cruising speed I generally sit around 5km above the posted limited when travelling so prefer to punch it through than sit back to conserve fuel.

    Vehicle will do that all day but does push up consumption, if you really worried about it travelling around 80 -90km seems to be about the most efficient speed but I can not do that !!!

    George
