pld118 did not post 'F**k off Goldrover, you nob'... how did you doctor my posts/ can fight my own battles without the troll intervention thanks
I think I've got the gig.. some LZ dwellers appear to smell of a wee.
(Data, gotta disagree my friend. Have had no worries with either my 10 year old TD6 nor my 8 year old V8 Petrol for over 3 years. one is on 153,000 and the other approaching 100,000.)
@P118d - Go for the TDv8 if you can, try adn get at least a year's warranty off the dealer. It is heaps ahead of the TD6. I have driven both over some distance adn the TDv8 was miles better.
Forget mileage, number of owners and FLRSH. Its how its been looked after, driven and serviced. I don't go near an official dealer for repairs, parts or servicing. They are amateurs and rip-off merchants. Both mine get indie servicing. one has had 5 owners, no servicing record at all adn drives perfectly!
Get a proper LR/AA inspection if you can b4 buying. I had a motor trade expert help me find mine.
Good luck. you wont regret it. I have had numerous cars adn the RR is the only one that I actually drive for the slightest excuse.
I int a troll FFS I wuz only trying to help
That'll be Buckgramps and Daft and Gemsdad, It's an age thing I reckon
Pld,
Bought the TD6 first as I was wanting good fuel consumption and lower costs. Averaged C. 25 mpg overall with 28 over motorway long trips. Really comfortable cruiser. However! Have now got a V8 petrol with LPG. Much better driving experience with an awesome sound when flooring it! And ... Costs are the same as TD6 ..... C.24-25p per mile (equate to 25-28 mpg)
If u go for petrol, try and get one already converted to LPG. Or conversion costs c. £900-1000. Depends on how many miles you will do. I don't do more than 10,000 a year. So the lower cost of a petrol will buy you a lot of fuel (V8 petrol gets c. 15-17mpg avge)
