One with an auto box...the Diesel in manual formn is a pain the rear to drive...gutless and needs lot of clutch control to get going on hills and towing...the auto box masks this issue well.
last 1 I had years ago was chipped & still a gutless gas guzzler, auto is much easier/smoother as saint says & you don't need a hydraulic left leg implant either
35mpg on the dash maybe, it lies when chippedHi ive got a manual diesel with tuning box it it goes very well, seen 35mpg on a run its never going to be a rocket ship its 2.3 ton of luxury sit back and enjoy, good luck hope you find a nice one and enjoy the pleasure of owning one.
was being gentle, must do a brim to brim tank check when I ive got some money for a real time test.
It must have been knackered then, mine flies and I can get 29.9 mpg on a run at 70+. I don't find the clutch heavy compared to my other motors but I did replace it not so long ago after the stupid roll pins sheared, and I stripped and lubricated all the moving linkages. Guess you drove a bad one![]()
Now now Saint, in the hands of a professional driver the manual is no problem at all. Yes mine has been chipped and certainly is not gutless and I do tow an 1800 kg twin axle tin tent. I can only guess the one/ones you have tried have been f**ked.![]()
Hi, everyone, newbie here. Yes, I had a diesel manual '96 flavour and I towed a 2 tonne twin axle 'van to Greece of all places with no probs, Alps and all.
Sadly a year later, the wife type (bless) had a serious accident in it involving a house (it got in the way) and it was totalled. Good job it was a Rangey as I still have wife and although this happened six years ago, just this last month we have acquired some funds and she has made good her promise to replace it - with a '98 4.6 HSE on lpg. Yay!
It has issues.
I will be back....
