Any Other Tips On Improving The Fuel Consumption Of My Series Land Series?

    Fit an electric fan - The pulley driven fan is a bit of a nonsense fuel economy-wise. For what you're doing with the existing fan is wasting fuel turning it when it's not needed, i.e. when you want to be heating the engine up for optimum efficiency, the fan is doing everything in its power to cool the engine down. An electric fan kit will set you back around £120, but it's possible to wire up your own using an electric fan from a scrappy.

    Fit an electronic distributor - A claimed 8 per cent improvement in fuel consumption is made for fitting an electronic distributor. These are custom-designed for Series Land Rovers, not a conversion kit, and are imported from Canada.

    Finally, something that won't cost money. Get rid of some weight. Do you really need to transport around a hi-lift jack and all the other off-road paraphernalia that you have accumulated just to nip down to the shops. Series Land Rovers have all the aerodynamic qualities of a housebrick, so lessening the load is always a good idea. This includes removing the roof rack if you have secure storage space.
