Mileage Still!!

Post by MADDS1 »

Ok so i have changed the fuel filter, plugs, afm, put injector cleaner thru and will be changing the leads next week. But still only getting around 200k's on a full tank of petrol in my Discovery 1. It seems to be down on performance too, but doesn't seem to be running too rich. Any ideas??

Thanks

Alex

Hello Alex

Had the same problem with my Range Rover. The cam is after ~200.000km down and needs to be replaced.
The valves dont open proper and the engine goes gutless and thirsty.
I had 30 liter on 100km...
The engine is out and a LS1 on the way in. :armsup:

What ever you put in as fuel - it will not repair your engine.

If you own a disco - like we all do! they are poor on the economy side

But I get 20/100 on petrol, 22/100km on LPG (95 auto)

I assume you have checked timing?

Also I assume you have a 80L tank, and not a 40L half tank like me?
