I was just wondering how much you are all paying to run yours ie- fuel, tax, insurance etc. just so we know we aren't overstretching ourselves. Many Thanxs x

lets be honest here. If you are after a "cheap" get around car its not a great one for it. comparitively high tax bracket, if you run it on normal diesel its expensive and unfortunately very desirable to the local scallys.

Running my TD5 on supermarket diesel costs around 25p per mile. £30 worth is just enough to do a 12 mile trip. My insurance wouldn't be typical as I never had a car for many years and as a result it's quite dear. But then if you want cheap transport you wouldn't get a Land Rover would you?
exactly!!

There's a missing zero somewhere. 120 mile trip. Which gives us around 30 mpg, which is what most other people seem to get.
