LandRoger:
I have owned a Cherry 4.0 if j33p could of squeezed another 10mpg out of it they would of sold thousands more in uk but at 15ish it just couldnt compete also its never had that road presence that a Range Rover or V8 Discovery has ,the guy that started this thread did say that money was a consideration and one thing a J33P isnt and thats cheap in any department bad fuel consumption,pricey new parts, shame really as they are great motors to drive,

I'll admit, they do like their fuel, but I regularly see 25-30mpg showing on a run. I'm dissabled, and retired due to that, so only have my benifits and at present thats the only money coming in to the house. Over the past yer I've found it affordable to run. :azn:As for the price of new parts, No idea s I've not had to get any, apart from the battery (

25/30 MPG on a run ermmm well i and most of the people in the J33P club would have to say that is wildly opitimistic 18/20 is the usual figure quoted for a 4.0lt in good mech nick, :rolleyes: Rus sorry for hijacking your thread (bad manners) Roger.

My old ZG Cherokee did 22-26 mpg and was good for journeys to Kernow and a bit of a hoot off road....
As YT says horses for cources......but know why 3 Grand cherokees have been in my ownership....and yes have looked at Discos....

In that case the trip computer is way out ! It may Aslo be worth noting, I rarely break the 60mph on motorways. I got speed out of my system years ago on bikes and trikes. On lanning trips I never spend any more on fuel than V8 discos.
But I stand to be corrected.
