And i also have larger than standard rolling circumference tires fitted (Attturo 275/55/R20), which would counter the computer reading better than it should

So what i really need to do is figure out exactly what i am using and calibrate the computer if it needs to be done i guess

I calibrated the readout in my one car that has it (not a LR product) by plugging in a scangauge and using that to keep track of whole tank litres and km. You can adjust the scangauge up and down to the best fit (individual tanks still error +/- a few percent). Once you're happy with the scangauge reading, you can tweak the dash readout to match without having to do full tanks to test it.

My car was VAG so VCDS was the laptop plugin to let me calibrate this. I could wind it up or down by 15% either way. I don't know how the landrover interface works, but it's also bosch so it won't be too far different.

Would have to say mine was pretty good the last time I tested it over 1500 kms. Computer read 9.8 l/100 . Actual 9.65 l/100. So I'm not complaining
