Hi all
when i upgarded from my series 3 3lt GU to the series IV I noticed a difference in fuel consumption. The crd using about 2 lt per 100k more than the older motor. This was backed up by not only difference on the fuel guage but by actual useage figures.
The car has travelled over 50K now and in the last few weeks i have noticed a huge improvement in consumption. It is still not as good as the Series 3 but it is improving all the time.
Has any one else noticed this and if so what mileage did it occur for you?
Alan

Alan, head over to patrol4x4.com, any questions to do with patrols are best answered there, particuarly if you have a 3.0l GU. Id go as far to say that every other site is biased against the 3.0l
This is situation reported by a few CRD owners (some with much worse fuel consumption, more common in autos than manuals though).
CRD is not series IV either, its a series V btw.
