22mpg 13.0 liters per 100 kilometers
to 35mpg or 8.0 liters per 100 kilometers
Depends on where and how you drive..
why is there a difference between where and when i drive them? arent they virtually the same? same chassis, same engine?

Town or city driving will use more fuel, naturally.
Motorway or freeway driving will get you more MPG because speed, acceleration and throttle input is constant.
LR's aren't they cheapest to run, obviously when you also wade in the maintenance and repair..
D3 gets my vote, its still quite a complicated car, but its the easiest of the modern LR models, excluding the defender of course.
gstuart is clued up in 2.7 and D3 problems and info best to wiat for him to come around!

Defenders are terrible. Don't get one.
Thks
I’ve done a buyers guide for the D3 so indeed gives u a better insight
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/buyers-guide.312800/
If I was going to very remote places I would be tempted to get a D2 , alas they suffer from chassis issues but the spare money u have could re chassis one and really have a superb vehicle
As u could get one now and then spend the next 2 x years fixing it up till ur 17 and pass ur test
Just a thought
sadly my country is REALLY srtict when it comes to repairing and or modifying. but worth a thought
Ah i see, are u able to re chassis a vehicle or is that not allowed, maybe the emissions restrict u
Indeed was just a thought, as if ur going to remote places it’s being able to repair it and get parts
Are u allowed to work on vehicles urself or does it have to be an approved garage
Thks
we can work on our cars ourselves, but changing a chassis etc is much to expensive. youll probably end up paying more for the "typisierung" which basically makes it legal.
something simple as putting in a different air intake makes it illegal if it isnt a tested part and if you dont have it "typisiert"
Thks , blimey that’s a royal pain
yes. most peoples cars are illegal not gonna lie tho, nearly everyone changes somethere so stuff does get tolerated. but if you for instance hit someone and your air intake is not stock youre gonna be paying that person medical fees for the rest of their life.
the thing with the freelander here is, i pay the same insurance as a rr or a disco 4. plus i didnt enjoy driving ours as i felt it seems more like a vw polo too drive.
plus, they pretty much cost around 8-15 k, which is my budget but i could get a "nicer car" for that money.
