What are you getting now? Is it completely fit?

Franky I don't think there is much you can do that is cost-effective to improve mpg on the 200 - it's already so efficient it takes a week to warm up in the winter!

Best look at other bits of the vehicle - tyre pressures and type, weight - carrying unnecessary stuff etc, etc but to be honest the gains on a Defender will be marginal.

Fit road tyres, get rid of roof rack, bull bars etc. Maybe consider changing the transfer box to a Disco one. TBH the amount you'd save isn't worth the agro.

I'm after a 1.4 LT230 ratio transfer box if you change.

you want the whole box or the gears to change the ratio of yours?

He's probably broken his. He's broken a long list of 'boxs so why not transfers too.
