thinking of getting a RRC
Rich_P:
V8, typically it would be between 10-20mpg. It largely depends on the condition of the engine and vehicle and your driving style. Meanwhile the 200/300TDi will return around 30mpg typically under most driving styles.
VM is an Italian manufacterer who builds engines. The VM 2.4 and 2.5 TD were used in the Range Rovers from the early 80s up to the late 80s and were then replaced by the far better TDi engines.

ahh right, thanks.

how many? :shock:
So, for me that would be £3200/yr on fuel!
ohhh pooo!
and with the 4x4 tax going up as well. :roll:
how old does a vehicle have to be to be able to be (to be to be to be....) tax exempt?
hairyasswelder:
<<<<<<<<<< 14-17 mpg but at 41.9 ltr LPG
So rough equiv to 28-34 against price of petrol (better than diesel)
Tax increase is only on cars built (NOT just 4x4's) after 2001 as I understand it. with the major hike on 2006 on cars
Tax exempt is pre 1971 I think, may stretch to 1972.

Isn't LPG kinda hard to get hold of? you get it from the petrol pumps the same as diesel and unleaded right?
28-34: well that's a load off my mind. :D
Pre 2001 only? Well that's....odd. I can't imagen why that is myself. :?
A friend of mine's dad is selling a 1988 Rangie 3.5 V8, good condition. I'm not looking to buy right now, but I said I was interested. He's asking for an offer somewhere round £8-900 I think. I just hope he is willing to wait a few months. :)
I was advised earlier not to get a Rangie for off-roading, because it has a wide turning circle and a long wheelbase. Is this true, and if so, is it a problem when going offroad? (supposing I covering all types of off-roading in one)
Yoshi:
With regards to the tax thing, the reason its pre 2001 is they started to monitor the co2 a car kicked out, so the higher the co2 the higher the tax, but because cars previously to that yeah werent monitored so much.
LPG is extremely widely available! check out here
