animal power, very comfortable, export market has lots gone from ireland, afriend of mine had one for a while, nice jeeps

Driven carefully they use no more than my defender and are excellent on a run, they even use less than others if towing as they are playing with he load.

Go as New as you can afford though as parts are extremely dear

The best I have had out of my diesel auto was 28 mpg driven sensibly through france. Never seen more than 23 mpg since. 20 mpg towing 3.5 tonnes on the motorway but back roads towing up hills you are in to single figures. They are a bit heavy on fuel but the disco 3 will give you huge repair bills the Lc wont.

I see there is now a pattern exhaust available I replace mine with genuine 2 years ago and it was nearly £1000 with vat.

Mine was the 5 speed auto, I found it very reasonable on fuel unless our lass was driving it

I think they were 4 speed my previous was 98 and that was a bit thirsty like yours, I put that in for an 05 which was the 5 speed.

 

Our lass thought it was a 3 ton go kart and use to throw it about whereas I drove it in a more stately manner

cheers for the input,now my next worry how do you think they compare in size to a nissan navara i have owned both and am just a bit unsure about trying to get it in tesco's when the wife makes me do the shopping

Went from a navarra to the lc parking the lc is easier better steering lock.

Just don't try taking it through a car wash, they don't fit
