that it will do, fuel economy wont go up too much. worst ive had towing 3+ ton was 15.5l/100 at 110kph over 1600k's. i average 13l/100 real world figures.Quote:

A chipped D2 will tow 2.5t easy as long as you don't go to big in the tyres, go over 31" in tyre size and it will struggle.

No before figures - I bought the car on a Friday night and sent the ECU to Tombie on the Tuesday!!!Quote:

Tombie suggested figures like 150Kw and 380Nm - but its sooooo smooth and just pulls from pressing the GO pedal. Not like some chips I have heard about with the torque just hits you like a slab. Could not be any happier :DQuote:

Needs a lift and new dampeners and some BFG AT tyres :D
But really impressed with it. Especially the new chip :p

Thanks for that info Phil, exactly the info iam after, we average now towing and consistantly 16.4 to 16.6 L/100 and travel at 100 to 110
Most owners - Once they stop 'enjoying' the new found power.....
Tend to find either a slight improvement or no change in their consumption.
The smoother acceleration often produces a lower consumption rate...
(Disclaimer: Discowhite doesnt count - He never seems to have calmed his 'enjoyment of the power' down!!!!!!!)
i may one day grow out of it??? but most probably not:twisted:
i look at it this way i drove my V8 disco the hard and got 24/100 out of it. i drive the 90 the same, and it goes better, and get 13/100, IM FLAMIN STOKED:D
cheers phil
ps. i should buy another v8 just for the sound
That's about right Mark, our camper is 1.3t to 1.5t and when towing get around the 13/100k to 17/100k with our current setup, 32s, drawers roof rack and so on, depending on the country we travel, 13 in flat country, 17 in hilly country.Quote:

I think the reason Phils 90 gets good economy, is weight, the 90 is 500kg lighter and his tyre size is smaller compared to a Disco, running 32s in a Disco is 3" taller over standard, that alone puts alot more drag on the car, whereas Phills 90 is only 1" over standard, this actually gives better gearing to a Fender and corrects the speedo too.
