Difference between Voguse sea and lse

goonarmy · Jan 16, 2008

Hi guys got loads of useful replies last time when i was looking for a RR classic but it all fell through!

Im looking again and whats the difference between a SE a and a LSE?LSE seem to have a 4.2 engine any other differences?Cheers for your help!

All LSE has air susp as std. An extra 8" wheelbase - all in the back doors. 5 spoke alloys.

LSE weights 300lb more than a 100" wheelbase - so performance is the same and you'll lose 2mpg over a std SE, some engine parts are rare and the air suspension was never a strong point.

I'd leave the LSE alone.

the LSE is longer than the normal one although im not sure by how much exactly.

err...that would be 8".

RRFan -RRNumpty more like.

Now there's another thing - LSE's dint fit in domestic garages, so most will have spent most of their life exposed to the elements.

So basically they are like a limo version of the rangie then?Suppose turning circle and angle of departure are also effected?Do like the sound of a 4.2 though.

Yes - exactly.

All the additional length is in the centre section of the chassis, to improve rear leg room and door opening. Departure angle is identical, as is approach. Ramp break-over angle is reduced.

4.2 sounds nice - but the performance is no different to the 3.9. They're a fairly rarish beastie though.

LSE doesn't look right. Looked at a black one when I was RR hunting, looked like a hearse. Nice room in the back but not worth spoiling the whole look of the car for. I don't go in the back anyway and I'm damned if I'll ever let any kids or dogs into my beautiful beast!

I`ve had 2, no real problems but turning circle not too clever. Also had the air suspension go down, the best and cheapest answer was to coil it. the 4.2 is a nice engine but can be thirsty, apart from rear leg room if you need it I would stay with 3.9 and there are more of them.
