Title: V8 Adventura Help Please..... Fuel Ecconomy? What Else?
Post by: fudge on August 27, 2006, 10:19:48

I have found the following car

02 / 51 Discovery V8 Adventura
Manual
58k
Full Landrover History
Loads Of Extra History ( bills / reciepts )
Demo + 1 Lady Owner
Pretty much Un Marked
Recent Goodyear Tyres
No Tow Bar (Suits Me)
Totally Standard
Sold to have New Test 60k Service and 2 Yrs Warranty

All For £ 9500

Seems Good To Me......

Will I see 18 to 25 MPG from this car ?

It has Harman Kardon, Climate, 7 Seats, 2 Manual Rooves, Half Leather etc etc whats standard?

Whats to watch for..... Its had a Spring (recent) and some alternator work plus a Clutch slave and master cylinder..... the (either) water pump or alternator are noisy, this will be sorted!

Comments / Advice

Only if you tie it to a passing truck.  You will never see a regular 20mpg from a V8.
I have heard of it happening, in extreme circumstances like taking your time  :o

But I get about half that.  Go for LPG, it's a green fuel anyway.
