Certainly. New engine coming right up courtesy of LRA warranty☺. Only had 30k on it. A rattle and a clunking and siezeage. Happened in seconds but took 9 weeks to get his car back😠Originally Posted by rick130
Ouch.
That'd be exxy.
The Isuzu 110. Solid and as dependable as a rock, coming soon with auto box😊
The Range Rover L322 4.4.TTDV8 ....probably won't bother with the remap..😈

SubscriberBetter late than never, missed this thread for some reason. The 110 came in at 2,640kg all up so significantly lighter than Rangieman's combination.
While I wouldn't have said the Deefers fuel economy was bad by any stretch, the TD5 certainly seems to make the most of its fuel and I was most impressed.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

Agree Gav the Td5 is incredibly efficient for a non common rail engine.

With the right tune and turbo the TD5 is an incredible engine.
I have a VW PD engine in a Polo that is the same design (unitary injectors) what an incredible engine 1.9 litres can cruise all day at 160km/h (not that I do this in South Australia)
And regularly return 4.5-5 litres per 100.
A really good design in my opinion
Probably only until it has the correct emissions mapping loaded

Lol not sure I care
I think it predates all that malarkey
Just did the latest calculation on the Defender and it showed 10.9 l/100kms over 475 kms, about half of it highway cruising. Can't complain about that.
My BIL is only getting 16 out of his 80 series!
For comparison, our Mazda 2 did 5.6 on a cruise to Sydney and back.

Interestingly the Disco has dropped to 11.1l/100km in the last 3500km with the rooftop tent (disregarding the leaky fuel hose bit)
CC was set to 100-105km/h and I checked it with the GPS and it's reading true, which surprised me.
I haven't checked the odo.

SubscriberMy slightly chipped D2 managed exactly 10l/100km on a trip from Melb to Adelaide with 4 adults and a big dog. no roof rack or anything. Cruising at the speed limit. Thought that was ok.

Towing my 15ft Al boat on the hiway with kayak on the roof racks my old D2 would do 10.5l/100L day in day out. Towing same rig with 2.2 Puma I've never been better than 11/100, a couple of times around 12.5.
Having just been without Dorian for 5 weeks, getting new injectors and HP pump, I can guarantee that the 2.2 is a fair bit more sensitive than the TD5.
Two weeks before Easter Got a bit of water in the fuel, engine ran for 1/2 the tank, a few error lights, limp mode and then new fuel injection system
Did similar in D2, ran rough for about 50 K, realised the problem, drove 5 k home, dropped the fuel, refuelled with clean and off I went. No further problems. A year after that I ran it on petrol, blew the head gasket but no problems with the fuel system.
fair enough to say that I drove the Puma a lot further with water in the fuel but the difference in the outcome was huge.
