Fuel economy

Hello everyone. I've got a disco 3 manual. I tow a twin wheel caravan and fuel economy is poor when towing.
I've heard that having a remap will increase fuel economy and power. Can anyone help please.

ask alivetuning or bellautoserices and install bigger intercooler before the remap will give you much more power and healthier colder engine

I didn't realise that a cold engine was a prerequisite for a more economical engine!

I think cooler intake rather than engine would be a better way to put it Wink

A hot engine, with a cool intake is best for economy, and power Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread
