Thats just as mine has been, I'm hopping that the fuel pressure valve have sort or the engine going into crazed rattle mode, has been ok over the weekend but didn't do that many miles so will see how it run this week will let you know how it run's

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Just completed a year with mine.

Although it gets used every day, it doesn't more than a couple of long trips a week. Done about 7k miles.

Pretty consistent economy at 25-27mpg. Off road that obviously dips to around 15-18. My previous Td5 did considerably better in similar conditions but it was a 90 and not a 110. I was hoping the 6th gear would help more than it appears to.

Re: limp mode. I've had several occasions where, after setting off I find it impossible to get above 50. If I stop and switch off and on again it is absolutely fine. No warning lights. Mentioned to the dealer and they can't trace anything - i.e. no fault codes.

I wondered whether it might be an EGR problem: maybe more smoke on startup (or am I imagining it because I don't have cause to think about it until the problem has occurred after a couple of miles); loss of power...
The EGR used to cause problems on other Defenders with similar symptoms and 50 is a bit quick for limp mode.

Any thoughts?

I've got my EGR semi-blanked off, basically it has a blanking plate in with a 15mm hole thus reducing the amount of gas recirculated. I have claimed 33>34mpg on many occassions which alot of people have questioned but I do 350 miles per week on A roads and motorway.

I may have to start taking pictures of my fuel receipts and speedometer reading to 'try' and convince people!

mine regularly sees 33 - 35 MPG

I had a VR6 Golf some 10 Years ago and it was widely acknowledged that units varied significantly in power and MPG consumption. DEFENDER XS CSW 08 TONGA GREEN

No, Chile. I was living in the UK when I joined the forum.

Not quite. People tend to EXAGERATE about their mpg-km/l, etc so it could have been either.

We use liters from the metric or SI system, which I guess was created for idiots

Using our SI system and after 40.000 km with the right motor oil our 110 SW have a yield of 10 to 11 km/lt
thats in MPG 25.8 to 23.5. (1 KM/L = 2.35214583 MPG)

We use to calculate the kms from the last fuel feed and the total volume feeded until the dispenser mechanism cut it automatically. So Im quite confident of this number. Eduardo

I do exactly the same thing. Fill up to pump cut off and consistently get 10 -11 liters per 100 km.
