I get at least 28 around town out of my disco, and 35 on a run.

LOL, I do wonder if we are being fair to this young chap 
Land rovers are like a drug, you buy one for a multitude of reasons and you get a big grin from ear to ear. Yes you will get burnt to a crisp at the lights and your spend more time under it than in it All this time your getting sucked in to the thing that is called Land Rover Ownership... Then for some reason you decide to buy a car, fast, quiet, comfy and cheap to run too, and that's where it begins.
You don't notice it to start, you start glancing at landys as you pass them in the street as you walk to your car and don't give it a second thought. Then, one day you find the latest copy of LRO on your sofa (this must proof extra terrestrial life is its traveled back in time one whole month!)
This goes on for a few weeks, a month or two before you find a big gaping whole in your bank balance and a pile of rusty Land Rover to start the whole process over again
Just be warned, your starting a habit that could be with you a very long time........... I know

Amazing, but true
I managed 10 years between the Series 3 and the Disco, but it sure does give you a grin on the face
If you are not friendly with oil and spanners, i would never reccommend a Landy to anyone-just not practical. On the other hand if you are the DIY type then the satisfaction of taking her for a spin after youv'e had the engine all over the driveway for a day is immense.
They are definately big boys toys i think

I'm fairly sure the V8 is a few insurance groups higher.....check out Parker's Insurance guide, all the groups should be on there.
on what??300tdi, 200tdi and v8 will depend more on your age than model. recently tried getting a quote for a 20yr old with no ncb and they all came back about the same....
well over £2,000
I'm 17, 1.2k on a 200
