Welcome. Almost eveything you can think to ask, the answer will be in these pages somewhere.
The only one that there won't be an answer to is : which one should I buy? As that is personal preference
Have a wander around the pages, you'll find a wealth of information

Someone from Cheshire without a Range Rover, didn't think there were any
. Only been in Cheshire for a few years, hence the panic to get one!Hi - I’m after a petrol supercharged version. An L322 model and probably one of the later 4.2 or the 5.0. Some of the questions will be relating to those models - watch this space!
Right - I’ll have a look and maybe try the search. ThanksWelcome. Almost eveything you can think to ask, the answer will be in these pages somewhere.

Hello and welcome, as a fellow SC owner I am somewhat biased in my advice but if you can manage the 12 to 23 MPG then enjoy. Best starting point set your budget with a few grand kept back for the first year potential surprises and look closely at the best condition and history you can find. Having done that try every button and feature during the test drives being ready to walk away from any that don’t pass inspection.
Happy searching, Tricky.
Thanks Tricky - glad to hear from someone who has one. I’m ready for the journey now and have taken advice regarding keeping some funds back did ‘just in case’. The search starts! I’m sure I’ll have more questions.

That's not any worse mpg than I get with the Golden Girl. I never get better than 18.5mpg , unless I go back to civilisation. At which point the best is around 30mpg and average is around 27mpg.
Makes me wonder what an SC would get doing
very hilly driving.
Probably not make it home before I'd have to go back and fill up!

“Good point well made” as the saying goes. If the revs exceed 2000 rpm you’re in average 14 mpg territory. Add in some steep climbs and 100 litres of E10 will last less than 250 miles for sure. I did check the mpg while in rolling traffic through York and got 4.3 mpg displayed.That's not any worse mpg than I get with the Golden Girl.

She still puts a big smile on my face every time I get in so fingers crossed someone finds an electric or hybrid conversion before it gets outlawed.

I spend a lot of time in high 2000 rev territory. Rest of the time is up and down gears, as we go up hill, down hill , with tight, blind bends, on narrow rural roads. When using the passes, she is working hard enough to shame an old style, Irish, navvy“Good point well made” as the saying goes. If the revs exceed 2000 rpm you’re in average 14 mpg territory.

Occurs to me that you could benefit from a hybrid conversion to gain from the down hill sections. Just a thought!I spend a lot of time in high 2000 rev territory.

Probably. Maybe someone, somewhere, will come up with one. It would have to be much smaller than the version JLR came up with. Even in the LWB it takes up so much space there is less boot room and less leg room

I’m sure there’s a technical wizard out there who can do it. The market is huge if we’re to avoid scrapping 30,000,000 vehicles before their time. Tricky.Probably.
