Australia 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3
Fuel Consumption

Towed our new van over last weekend it weighs 2800 kg so was pleased that fuel consumption indicated was around 14.5ltrs/100 km, I know the actual would be higher. However since taking the van off and running solo the indicated consumption is still 13.5 to 14 ltrs/100 km, it used to be 9.5 to 10.5 ltrs/100km, how long does it take to normalise or any other comments / suggestions

Maybe stupid question but did you push the button long enough to get ------ instead of the numbers?

You might have to start driving a little less enthousiastic Whistle

No other things noticed? like hot rear breaks or so?

As that look like V8 consumption figures

Just had a software upgrade for the sticking turbo vane issue and a transmission software upgrade. Economy is now 1.5 L/100 less than it was. Thumbs Up
