Have a look at the published power/torque figures for the two vehicles,stock..

Just my light hearted 2 cents worth

I agree...

in fairness he was running them up north as part of his job, and they were brand new or at least fairly new fleet vehicles fitted out the same , every one was returning the same figures from what I could gather.

The same crew pestered and pestered management for a 70 series as well, they only got 1, everyone drove it, now no one will!

It appears it was just an itch that needed to be scratched once.

My dim, I was up late

With the same driving style in my D2 TD5 03 Manual around Sydney traffic it was 12.5L - 12.75/100km.

Now with exact the same style (closed doors, aircon ON at cold level and fan speed 2 or 3) it is showing 9.1L/100km. Although the D3 is stock standard, I think this is a bit too far from what I was expecting this heavy rig to get but that's on the positive side .
