Just to add, he’s had the cats removed and the dpf delete and remap around 330bhp and ridiculous torque figure (wonder who he’s following? )don’t know how long it will last but been 3 years already and he certainly doesn’t pussy foot around, however I know he’s trying on this journey for mpg as I asked him to.

[Marks DTM Calib]

I'm generally regarded as one of the most light footed here and can eeek the most MPG, my record was 76mpg with my VW back in the day on a very long motorway run at truck speeds.

I'm also strongly considering XF of that vintage, so keen to know outcome. But when a JLR employee here can get close to those figures, but on much newer 2.0 inline 4 pots. Not to sure how you can get 60mpg average from a 3.0 apart from the odd second on an instant consumption view.

It can be done

Ahh ok so it’s been fiddled with a fair bit!!! Might explain much improved mpg over standard.

How was DPF delete done? As I recall MOT rules now check if ones fitted when it should be.

[Raeturbo]

No comment on any of that   He says it’s a little better since the remap etc but not a lot,however it now has 50 bhp more too! And......... he changed the inlet manifolds before the map one was slightly leaking, Jaguar says they aren’t a weak point but they are, they have not said but the new pair he the fitted were discreetly upgraded from the original I would bet.

It might still be fitted but it might have been hollowed out just after a regen.

  .   Just had an update 161.7 miles so far and average has gone up to 61.7

£2,700 off the i40. The diesel version of which will get to John O'Groats from the south coast on two thirds of a tank. And you won't have to waste time opening the bonnet

Is this figure off the full list price, or a hard negotiated figure?

One is much better than the other.

[Doctor Gollum]

Off the list price, but no harm in asking for more

Also any preregistered stock should be cheaper still

[Raeturbo]

220 miles and 64.7 it’s getting better..I’ve changed the plan and asked him to brim it in Carlisle when he gets there.

[TheBoy]

He loves his car and when I told him his mpg was being questioned this was his response



Right let's have a bet then tomorrow I will be driving 350 ish miles I will reset when I leave my house and video the reset and video the trip computer reset then when I finish up at carlisle we will see what average I've got

I don't want his money. But get him to do a brim to brim test and calc manually. Then compare to FC.  He will find, if he's man enough to be honest, a significant discrepancy.

If he gets a genuine high 30s, even on a run, our ideas of Miss Daisy are radically different

[TheBoy]

OK, many remaps do make the FC even more out.

So genuinely interested in the real figure.

Downhill, backwind, and not me driving.

I reckon it will be possible to get (genuine) high 40s/low 50s are a constant 50mpg, which will read over 60mpg on an older Jag FC

[dave the builder]

maybe the trip is set to Kilometers/gallon not miles

[TheBoy]

It don't allow that. MPG or l/100km
