don't get a disco you'll be lucky to 20mpg, that's why I sold mine and bought a freelander. My11 freelander 2, xs, Manual, 18" hse sparkles, sidesteps, privacy, zermatt silver metallic, almond nutmeg alacantra, twin electric towbar

What reg was your disco? I was hoping to get 25mpg but if its 20 that's shocking as my 2tonne pick up truck does more than that!! Black FL2

I wouldn't be able to stretch to an 09 as it would be a second car but might keep the Freelander a little longer then until we really need the 7 seats... Black FL2

We had 300tdi prior to the d3 and on the daily work crawl that did 25, and 30 ish on a run , but the d3 is 1/2 ton heavier than both the tdi and td5, weighing in at 2.7t you can't expect much else really.

We sadly had to let our Disco 4 (3.0 TDV6) go for something more practical, mainly because we could rarely better 27 or 28mpg up here in the steep and twisty North.

2.7 HSE auto averaged 25 over its life, and it did school runs, town journeys, towing and motorways.
