I've been trying to find any tuning companies stateside that have done anything on the i6, but nothing at all.....I would definately be interested in putting a blower on mine when I get it. Cool

I was going through all your replies and I tend to conclude that D3 TDV6 and FL2 TD4 have about the same consumption (about 32mpg). Is that correct? Is it also true that the D3 is slow? I read the same 0-60 figures for both of them. The one I test drove was tuned and it drove like hell and the handling was so perfect. It cornered like a train! As far as the interior is concerned I've seen some bad photos of the 2008 D3 and I believe it's gonna look great (anyone know where I could see some proper pictures of the new model on the net?).
I was passing outside my dealer's today and stopped for a quick glimpse at the two cars again. And after two week of thinking of 'upgrading' to a Disco, god, the FL2 now look so small! Thud Maybe I mistrained my brain cells! Shocked

If you're getting 32mpg from your TD4 Auto FL2, then I'd expect about 27mpg from a D3 TDV6 Auto

Averaging 31.6mpg in TD4 auto after 600 miles, that includes my lowest avearge of 8.5mpg after clearing the computer memory and booting it down the nearby dual carriageway from stand still, only got the manual down to I think it was 10 or 12mpg doing that, but certainly never single figures Exclamation

you got lead boots on or what .....

just completed a 350 mile round trip Manchester- Hemel Hempstead and return; arrived home with the computer showing 43.6mpg. All my fwiends tell me I'm 'very light on my feet' so it must be true .......

Because I am a really sad bastard (I'm saying that before anyone else!!) I can tell you that my car has averaged 37.04 mpg over 16,840 miles. That is calculated by miles driven against fuel put it, not the on board computer. I think that is pretty good, I'm well pleased with that......

Just gone into LR site to check the figures. Have a look:

http://www.landrover.co.uk/gb/en/Vehicles/...rmance.htm

Only the urban cycle is very different. What amazed me though is the noise level difference: 73dB for TD4 manual, 68db Bow down Thumbs Up Very Happy for auto. Could that be so Carl? You've driven both...
