Auto or manual? Which suits the D2 better? J.

Ah i had height issues with all LR's but it was worth it, now i look back i can't see how i did it.. 6"8 43" inseam. Back is killer now, so can't squeeze in 'em anymore!! :( Knees are also agony so no more manuals for me :( There are downsides to being tall :rolleyes: Wish i was 6"0 :)...

Yes i still can't believe i had forgotten!! And yes the S type is a lovely drive! The old XJ40s are also a nice smooth drive.

Don't do it.. Buy a shyte heap to run around in and put the P38 on a classic car policy for peanuts and drive it on weekends or when you feel like driving a proper car.. ;)

Hmm let me think.. I've had my fare share, far more than what is in my Sig.. My first car after passing my test on 1997 was a 1983 RRC with a 2.5DI ford motor in it, fuking horrible engine mind you. #2 a 1989 Vm RRC i loved that car she was rebuilt in 2004 and went like nothing else, 9yrs of...

I had a Lander for 3 months, i'm 6"8 and looked quite funny in it, apparently.. Don't ask how i managed to drive it!! ;) lol

so it seems the V8 can be quite frugal if driven nicely ;)

What MPG are we seeing from our V8's and diesels. According to my Trip the best was 26mpg and that was motorway with cruise control set at 65. I've brimmed to brimmed several times and it seems the Trip is accurate, atleast on mine The worst was 15mpg..

No with that mileage, you'd be crazy to offer over £700.

From a brim to brim i get 22.1 mpg average out of my V8 which is quite surprising tbh. My old diesel classic used to get 25-28 so i'm quite happy with my V8 ;)

About £50 ;)

I'm 6"8 and yes it was very tight in my RRC, but i certainly wasn't too uncomfortable.. Try reclining the seat further.

i can get 380mi from £138 in me RR :eek::D A while ago I had a 1.8 K series that would average 29mpg :rolleyes: TBH i thought the TD4 would be a tad better!!

I had an issue similar to this with my old '87 3.5 classic.. Basically i like an engine to sound spot on and when they tick groan or misbehave it pishes me off.. So to fix it... I drained all the oil out, refilled it with cheap dino oil and substituded 2 litres of engine oil for 2 litres of...

Personally i love the smell.. My yard use to reek of the stuff when i had several Old range rovers and old series landrovers ;)
