V8 = 2 too many cylinders, 8 too many spark plugs, access too difficult, too thirsty, should be outlawed

Just in the Rangie though right? They're glorious elsewhere

To help motorists taxi drivers, HGV's etc. France is a big country, even shopping is a 60Km round trip Oh and to avoid another big protest I would guess

We're **** outta luck then, since the gov't refund HGV companies on fuel duty to prevent another large fuel protest, there is no chance of anyone else getting a discount.

Afraid the it is all sh1te in UK seems like the sensible move is to follow Datatek to France we could fill up all the space they have

Nope, I detest V engines as a whole, 2 too many heads as well as all the other things. Up to 2.5 litres 4 cylinders is enough then 6 cylinders up to about 5 litres

The witty banter between LPG v8 drivers and the 2.5 ltr oil burners
Never fails to bring a smile to my face (especially when Iam at the pump
Filling up and I see how much more you give to the government)

Not a lot of difference actually. The diesel driver however knows that his vehicle is far less likely to disappear in a cloud of steam at some stage.

 

[tonybirch]

No they move slowly away behind a black cloud.

 

[Datatek]

No they move slowly away behind a black cloud.

No black smoke, no steam and diesel at not much over a quid a litre here, you can keep you fuel guzzling mobile gas bomb

 

[tonybirch]

See you didn't dispute the slowly bit.

 

[wammers]

See you didn't dispute the slowly bit.

Your 4.6 litre V8 may be a little quicker than my chipped 2.5 litre diesel but i bet it's not by much.

Mines not been modified. To make up for its
lack of power.

 

[TCubed]

I'm sorry.. who buys a Range Rover for speed?
Rover's V8s were meant to be joys in TVRs... briefly

 

[tonybirch]

Well that depends on how fast you need to
get somewhere always nice to have the option.
handy when your towing to.

Well a 4.6 litre V8 petrol engine, even one that is prone to boiling over, is highly likely to have a bit more grunt and tractability than a 2.5 litre diesel. Mine was chipped when i bought it and i have no complaints about it's performance. You keep mentioning slow, mine is not slow by any stretch of the imagination. It may not beat yours in a quarter mile sprint, but if i needed to do that i would get the 4.7 litre Porsche out of the garage.

When was speed an issue with a Range Rover? If you wanted a fast vehicle, buy a sports car or super saloon. If you want a muck mover, get a Defender or Hilux. If you want to drive around in luxury while still have the ability to get the wheels muddy, you get a Range Rover. Driving one fast is like trying to drive a Rolls Royce fast. Just silly.

The issue was fuel duty originally. Diesal drivers
started the name calling.thought I'd just pull your legs
for bit. That's all.

If you want a fast one for whatever reason, go for the Overfinch

So we agree then. A v8 LPG is better than the
2.5d.
