500 I possible but not when towing 2ton. Managed to get 27.5mpg on a 375 mile trip to Scotland. No checked but return journey looks like it'll be pretty much exactly the same.

And I though you were going to say like a girl. Def went like a dream almost all the way there. Shortly after setting off there was like a barely perceivable clunk and everything was great. Smooth progressive gear changes no clattering, great smooth power delivery. At 376 miles pulled over filled up and set off - back to crappy gear changes???? |

there's your problem you shouldn't have filled up!
Don't put any diesel in your Defender and I can guarantee you won't have any issues with clattering, dodgy gear changes or clunks |

Another pb today - I think.
Managed to squeeze 69 ltrs into standard tank today. (just checked and managed 70 ltrs before so no pd) Unfortunately only 498.5 miles. What do you guys aim for out of a tank? Generally always aim for 500 miles Last edited by Caterham on 16th Apr 2017 8:48am. Edited 1 time in total |

To answer your question, I aim for about 2 months driving out of a tank. 
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

I generally aim to use a tank of diesel by the time I need to refill the tank with diesel, that's about it.
Everyone is entitled to drive how they want, however i'm entitled to my opinion of the people below, People who don't do 60 in a 60. People who wont overtake people who cruise to a halt for about a mile when approaching a roundabout People who exit said roundabout in 4th gear and take an hour to get back to speed people who drive at 50 in a 60 in good conditions people who drive at 50 in a 40 then 50 in a 60 People who slow for corners that are acutally just bends people who do 70 on crawler lanes then 50 on the normal carriageway. people who pull out infront of me and cant find their accelerator people who stop at roundabouts when theres nothing coming ad infinitum  3 LandroversLast edited by Swac3 on 19th Apr 2017 9:51pm.
