Glad you are enjoying it, put nearly 17,000 K’s on mine and very happy with the fuel economy,
On long runs I have been getting around 26mpg, it has averaged 22.4 mpg over the last 6000 k’s. ![]() Click image to enlarge yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

Yep the Duratracs lose a few MPG. Noted a similar loss on my D3 V8.
Looking forward to our P400XS arriving. |

UK I would say otherwise it would nearer 30mpg UK which is a tad too far.
I would do 23 to 24mpg on a run in my D3 V8 4.4 on Duratracs so I would expect a little more out of the Defender as its quite high geared |

You should be able to plug your iPod into one of the USB sockets in the front centre console. Apple CarPlay won't work but you can control playback from the media controls on the Pivi Pro screen.

I was going to say. I can get 21 US mpg if I stick to 55mph and below, but it’s usually 18 or lower with my lead foot. |

Imperial (UK), most of that contribution is due to long distance highway based driving over the last 4 months ..I usually keep to the speed limit, which is 100/110KPH, or thereabouts ![]() MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

Sounds a little heavy. Seen this before and quite impressed considering the rain. To put that into some sort of context. I drove my BMW 3.0D X5 down through France one year in slightly heavier rain and I struggled to acheive 26mpg over the wet 300miles. |

Other than charging the ipod there is no connection from any of the USB sockets unless the ipod has Bluetooth which mine don't ![]() "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

Had a 300 mile round trip last week and was sticking to the UK speed limit of 70mph and averaged 22.3mpg which is as good as I think I'm going to get for a while until the engine has covered more miles and loosened off a bit ![]() "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

Oh I just ordered the Brodit holder, but my Defender will be fitted with the 11.4" screen (though I didn't order that one) Perhaps this will do it: phone and/or can holder, fixed with a bolt https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/10050024811...3661%22%7D ![]() |
