    Good mileage and Dead Cool..............

    It was empty with a 'we're doomed' dressed in black driving............room for one inside sir!

    Good mileage and Dead Cool..............

    Recently had a re-map and today drove home from Redditch to North Yorkshire, admittedly mostly motorways, and clocked 34.6 mpg. Quite chuffed but I'm not heavy footed anyway. However - was overtaken by a big black car doing close on 80mph on the A1M, reg number G3 HTY. It was a hearse!....

    Does this thieving happen at all the Landy events.

    Travelling to France

    However, if you are on an express way travelling at 107kph, someone will spend a morning overtaking you at 108 and just maybe will pull in front of you as they power up to 109.5kph.

    Full armour but difficult to steer. Eventually we ordered a half a dozen or so kevlar and armour plated Defenders from British Aerospace. One went down a cliff with four guys in it and they were sore heads and ok; another took about fifty rounds of AK during a sustained attack when it broke...

    Years ago we took an old RUC landy to Bosnia - the bosses trying to save money. We had it painted deep pink (get that Nig?) It got nicked by a militia and when it reappeared some days later it had a machine gun mounted on the roof and our company stickers still on the side and screen - and was...

    Hi from Uganda & Question

    Welcome. If the Landy is in Mombassa, then a few dollars ought to make the numbers suddenly appear: at least that's the way it used to be done. In any event, surely the vehicle is in transit - a good drive across to Uganda?

    Hi All

    Welcome - I'm sure there's enough room in the back of the Vogue to transport half the band to the next gig. I can get a five piece drum kit in mine complete with Roland KC500 amp. You have a great car that will never go wrong - until you need it. Then you can switch to the Range Rover section...

    They need a kick up the arris I think: maybe the Landy owners these days are the wives taking kids to school on the Malone and Ravenhill - shame really. Cracking place to have a real Landy - I miss the drive from Larne along the coast and drifting down to the Mournes on a weekend with the kids...

    There must be - when I was there I saw hundreds of 'em, all painted army green. Seriously, though, there must be lots of Landy owners out there. I knew a chap in the hills over from Knockbracken, near Moneyreagh who was an Indy Landy mechanic with good facilities about twenty years ago. I was...

    Hi!

    Welcome on board - I've got the 3.6 TDV8 - best to get into the Range Rover forum and get away from the Angry Brigade who's idea of a day out is to put the tool box on wheels - a tratter or hippo - and head off with a sarnie (no piccalilli) so they can break down as far from home as possible...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Haha - keep going.

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Got most things sorted Alan but the air-con is back to being a no-no. They're willing to take it back for a fix, but domestically I have a few things to sort first which will probably mean by the next ice age I will have my air-con back! I'm heading off on a decent run this week to take Mrs B...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Just had a re-map 3.6 TDV8 and what a jolly thing it is to drive now. I just need a decent run instead of heading up and down four miles to the shop.
