rocky Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi, Two questions, can anyone tell me the average mpg for V8 Disco 2, and Does the V8 have a similar engine management system as the TD5 (all those sensors etc)? Thanks, Rocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi Rocky. Average???? what a question, about 18 average same as my D1 may be... and the V8 does have an engine managment ecu with various sensors to look after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I get about 17 on a run but the road conditions here (windy, hilly and loose gravel!) are less than ideal for economy - I should think 20 would be achievable on tarmac roads on a steady run. Yes the D2 V8 uses the Thor engine, the engine ECU controls both fuelling and ignition. Never had an issue with any of the electrickery on mine, which is more than you can say about most Td5s after six and a half years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi, thanks for the replies. I have been thinking about getting the disco 2 V8 mainly because the bodies are better built than the D1 and I don't fancy the td5 with all the ECU probs. If I can get a good one I will convert it to lpg or buy one that has been converted. My D1 300tdi runs really well but needs major surgery to the rear floor and crossmember, so I'm weighing up my options for when the M.O.T., runs out.
