As some of you may have noticed, I've had a Range Rover in my sig for a few days, well, today I went to actually get it.
87 Rangie auto with LPG, for a reasonable price, huge mileage, no service history, but quite clean with about £400 worth of wheels and tyres on.Good points - solid as a solid thing [1], drives very well indeed, tidy inside and out [2], solid, clean trim, aircon, properly working auto box, recent steering box, new discs and pads, mega silly expensive Clifford concept something alarm, and a box of new spare LPG sequential injectors and controllers in the boot.
Bad bits - LPG is only half there, just needs converting back to the original single point system. Someone was about to try and multipoint it and lost the bottle methinks. N/S exhaust downpipe is blowing it's nuts off, drivers' electric window doesn't work [3]
So, time for the fuel consumption competition.
How much petrol did a 3.5 EFi auto Rangey that's not been on the road for a couple of years use over the 285 mile trip home? Don't forget to include the exhaust blow in your calculations!!
Nearest answer to the correct one gets to be smug.
[1] apart from the tailgates, obviously [2] apart from the headlining, obviously [3] well, you can see through it, it just doesn't go up and down.
