I suspect it's not as economical as LR would have us believe. 2WD is only going to compensate so much for what is still a heavy car with the aerodynamic properties of a brick. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby LOT (Lord of Time) - University of Gallifrey |

Mine will have a 1,000 miles on it after only its first week! I set the trip computer as I left home on Saturday afternoon and have completed about 850 miles since then.

Those figures are encouraging. Thanks for the warning about August - we'll see what weather we can arrange for you having had some decent notice! Tigger. |

I picked up my FL2 GS TD4 2008 a few weeks back. It's got 60k on the clock. In terms of reliability, it's been back a couple of times already, but first time was to reattach a piece of body kit that had come loose, and the second is booked to replace the aircon compressor which is making a horrendous noise. Whilst being prepared it had a power steering pump replacement which I was told is quite a common problem.

Thanks to all for your advice etc. Some promising figures there. Bit better mpg etc than to my current car. But on average I think the running costs could be about the same.
