From my point of view, in order for LR to do a remap there must be a mass request, which there isn't. However I guess you can achieve the same result by driving in sports mode. Have you tried this? If this doen't work, then command shift will give you the option of changing whenever you feel like it! |

The Haldex clutch in our Freely 2 is of the latest technology (version 3) and normally splits the torque with 5% to the rear axle and 95% to the front axle. So the Freely 2 under normal driving conditions is a front wheel drive.

Hi. I have tried the command mode and it helps the MPG but would stil preferr a lower change up point in full auto.

The way I explane it is that it takes some time for the adaptive gear box to get used to the way you drive. |

Errr. Dave W ... good mpg, however this forum string is supposed to be for mpg of TD4 Autos!! I created it because it was previously so confusing getting average mpgs posted for a mixture of manuals and autos. Seems like it still is! Life is not a dress rehearsal! |

NJ - thought my consumption was improving, but just done around 450 miles incl trip to Lake District, and back to W Yorks, plus numerous M-way trips, (one at hi speed for 26 miles), and it's just under 32mpg. Car now done 9900 miles, give or take, with Castrol Edge 0-40 lube. Reckon that I could get >33mpg, but then where's the fun?[/b] |

Yes Chrisaviss, I've done just over 6k miles now, and my real average is very similar to yours. On a good trip I've had it up to around 34.5mpg, or sometimes even better if I cheat and reset the computer after the engine's warmed up and / or I've got on to better roads. Like you I think it's really about 32 mpg for a TD4 auto, exactly as LR claim. I also agree that it's pointless getting obsessed about mpg and removing much of the fun from driving the very peppy FL2.

So far I'm getting 27-28 from my TD4 Auto, only 1,500 miles so far, but mostly on my 30mile dual carrigeway trips to/from work average speed is about 40mph. As advised by the stealer I'm kept under 2,500RPM.

Yes probably Freebo. I think you'll get better mpg on longer trips, and when the weather is a tad warmer. If not, then it would seem to be reasonable to ask your dealer to find out why!
