50mpg

Just drove northWales to Bristol: averaged 50mpg almost exactly.
With two people, 35kg dog and suitcase (and pano).
Pleased with that. Trip A average mpg closing in on 43mpg after 1700 miles mainly city driving with 2 people and dog on board.
Have an eD4, so looking for further improvements but we're moving in right direction.

RE: 50mpg

I'm sure they've changed engine mapping recently, MattyW when did you take delivery?

Straydox is another member who has a 'later' car and is getting better economy

RE: 50mpg

Took delivery on the 23rd June.

Seems to have a very 'sweet spot' between 45-60mph returning well above 50mpg with above or below that mph returning below 40mpg.

RE: 50mpg

My SD4 is booked into have it's first service in September and the receptionist has already told me that it will get a lot of software upgrades. Mine was one of the first batch of customer builds so maybe I should not have them done and increase it's collectibility factor as an original, unmolested early production model!

RE: 50mpg

I've got my first service on Tuesday next week and have been told a similar story.

Will let you all know as soon as Im back on the road again, 16000 miles since end of feb seems a bit mad.

One of the happy owners, ordered June 2011, delivered Wednesday 8th February 2012, now 97000 miles. Scorpions lasted 78'000 miles.

Pure TD4 5 door, fuji white, ebony interior, Pan roof, Front fogs, spare wheel, privacy glass, towbar and black roofrails.

Cars got to go back to company March 25th 2015 Sad

RE: 50mpg

No, 12 months or 15000 miles, whichever comes first, if it is like other Land Rovers it will tell you by showing a spanner icon on the info screen and a number, that is the days left to service required

RE: 50mpg

I have my first service in two weeks having racked up 15,000 miles since March. (without a single problem I hasten to add). I'm looking forward to seeing what the updates do to economy, it's no big sweat but 33mpg is a little below my expectations.
