Fuel Mileage - Possible Improvements?
#31
Rebuild your prop shaft and grease the fittings every oil change and you can do whatever you want. The shafts don't fail because they're weak they fail because there's no way to service the joints. Make them serviceable and that fault goes away.

I realize that this is a thread about fuel mileage so sorry for hijacking my own thread but - I took a look at the front driveshaft after they took it out. It was on it's LAST legs - I can't imagine what would have happened. Quite simply just don't ask questions - if it's never been replaced consider yourself lucky and either replace it or upgrade/refurbish it.
Just do it.
Just do it.

Bumping this rather than start a new thread.
I now have two 1999 Disco's and have been doing a bit of research on the fuel mileage thing. Am I reading it correctly (on US Gov't website + plenty of other private sector sites) that the newer Disco's get WORSE fuel mileage than the older ones?
I'm seeing a 1999 gets better MPG's than a 2004?? Is that possible? Is it because LR just threw electronics, weight and crap into the newer ones vs. the older ones are lighter and leaner or is it an engine & gearing thing?
Thx
