Have a TD5 auto with a powerchip installed when I bought it 2 years ago and it was doing around 22-23 mpg . After a full service and removal of EGR getting around 27-28 mpg. Have even managed 34.6 mpg on a run to holland last year ( Fully loaded boot / 3 bikes on rack etc). On the towing front over a full tank last month and with the trailer on the whole time ( up to 3 T sand / gravel ) managed 24.7 mpg so really rather pleased with that. I had a Defender 90 300 TDI for 6 years previously and I found the Discovery better up the hills where I live with the loads mentioned. As in most of these cases it really depends how heavy your boots are with the mpg. But I am well impressed with the Discovery.

Hi all , New to site, have had my Td5 Auto 2001(also chipped) for 6 mths and since I ripped out EGR get 24 -25 mpg ( I live with hills all way round ) round the doors but have managed 29mpg on run M way driving( prior to removing EGR). A good service has also made a fair difference to mpg. I usually tow a 14' trailer low loader and heavily loaded have seen it dip to 20mpg but this was before I removed the EGR. Cheers Ciaran666
