Onto my 5th MOT with my beloveded Landy.
And passed with only 1 advisory - rear drive shaft gaiter needs a new clip.
Very happy.
also the car is driving so well, did a 260mile round trip to Coventry at the weekend and returned 46MPG. this old girl is maturing so well with age.

TD4s are very good on fuel 50mpg is achievable on a run. 2013 FL2 XS.
Defender 90 300 TDi.
Defender 90 300 TDi CSW.
1964 MGB Roadster.
1944 Willys MB "Jeep" with bullet holes. (gone)
17 hand Irish Drought Thoroughbred (mostly lame)
Nagging Old Boiler.

never hit 50mpg - got close with 47mpg on a return run to Coventry.
Suspect my tryes and roof bars could be stopping that.

What year is yours?

My 2007 TD4 (Auto) is getting about 33mpg on a motorway run @ about 65-70, 21mpg on very short journeys around town and 26-27 when doing mixed road trips over 30 miles. None of this is with a heavy foot. 2007 Freelander 2

Autos will use more fuel than a manual TD4 I never get below 30mpg round town lowest it does is 33/34 mpg, check your tyre pressures often and check brakes are not binding? 2013 FL2 XS.

Thanks, any other tips or things to look out for?

I was tempted to get a company to look at a improved efficiency ECU remap

What's the best way to check brakes are not binding? Car doesn't feel sluggish or slow. Cant smell anything either 2007 Freelander 2
