Hi, thanks for letting me join. I own a D3, and love it. Will be using forum for advise and any money saving tips, as these are not the cheapest vehicles to run/maintain.

Welcome to the madhouse. Savings, savings, what are these savings you speak of?
Obviously “spending” has been autocorrected to “savings”.

Unfortunately only a tiddly tank so ~350 miles max before red light comes on. Not too worried, let’s me stock up on sarnies while enjoying low/mid 50s mpg. On petrol.
Down side, no CC, heated seats & wheel, DAB, etc, etc, etc.

Wow , 50 MPG , that’s very good
Think a disco doing over 30 MPG is impressive
Are u going to get a 4x4 for when it snows or not bother

Lucky for me, it runs on LPG, I can go from Kent to Dorset and back at a steady 80mph for around 60 quid and also enjoy looking at the views for being high up!!

Hi all, looking to buy my first LR and it'll be a commercial. I've been eying up the sdv6 D4's but am struggling to find ones still with all the commercial pack intact. It seems a lot have had the window blanks removed from the rear doors and a bench seat installed.
After reading this forum I've discovered that some of the features I've been looking for can be activated through the ecu so that gives me hope of getting the spec I want !
