Dec 22, 2008. #1. hi i have a discovery td5 2004 (the new one with the facelift) and i live in the south of italy, i often make trips to england and back with a 3.5 ton trailer sometimes fully loaded. haven't had any problems (touch wood) but was wondering on how i could improve my fuel economy. i was thinking of doing the egr valve thing but i 1. When purging the system after connecting the gauge i get a steady 4 bar when the pump is running and can hear fuel gushing through the system. However, when the pump cuts out, the pressure drops to 0.75 bar in less than 1 second. As soon as the pump starts a new cycle, it goes straight back to 4 bar. 2. Driving and noise level wise the TD5 is far superior and the turning circle is better. It does suffer from the same old problems of leaky sunroofs, clogged up EGR valves, and the fuel consumption is not as good as the 300tdi, well mine isnt. but I am still driving it in sport mode a lot of the time. 2000 Discovery Td5 ES manual Hawkeye v.6, Nanocom EVO, Best Upgrade 4 Hole Bosch Land Rover 8x Fuel Injectors for 0280155787 4.0L 4.6L | eBay 2002 Land Rover 2001 Land Rover Discovery TD5 GS 4.0L V8 GAS Standard 5 Speed Sport Utility Added Jan 2018 • 74 Fuel-ups.

Mine did after I brimmed the tank one time. Check out www.discovery2.co.uk and search on here for info on accessing the in tank pump and correctly seating the seal. Also check the condition of the fuel pump locking ring. Re: Discovery 2 V8 vs. TD5: The fuel consumption issue.. Td5 Manual. 19 Fill ups. 9232 km. Average 8.8 km/l (11.36 l/100).
