jevansio Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Had the Range Rover a couple of days now, absolutely love it. The air suspension is great, drop it right down to get in & out, then raise it right up again when you drive off. The sense of safety you get when driving it is great, I've only ever had low sports cars, this was such a culture shock, it's like driving a truck. Think I'll have a look for some fields & hills this weekend for a laugh, have a go with the low gearbox. Came across this site that offer a kit to turn a 2000 P38 into the new style, what do you think? Into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golddigga Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 How bad is the fuel consumption - I am thinking about getting one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many cars do you want mate? Erm, no it's not very economical , I've only had it a few days, but it does "guzzle" a bit , I'll work some figures out over the next couple of tanks of petrol. Yeah, got the Supe & the 911 too, I got this to ease the miles on the 911 (my lass was taking it to work everyday), and to keep it off the road in the bad weather, I wanted something that would get her to work come rain, hail or snow (whiplash noise ).

jevansio Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 How bad is the fuel consumption - I am thinking about getting one of these! Gonna work some stuff out over the next couple of tanks bud, it's got an LPG conversion so will do that 1st as that's what I'm using mainly at the mo. I did fill it with petrol when I got it though, over £90 @ £1.05 a litre!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Loving the kit bud. Those side vents are v.nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I like the Range but you've done well to get the petrol model as the diesel is sluggish and struggles up hills. I have just driven the new Diesel Vogue HSE and I wasn't impressed with the driving experience. If you want a proper Range then the only way to go is petrol IMHO. I did like the remote camera system that comes on the top-line model though The second hand market value is falling very quickly so there are a fair few bargains to be had on these beasts from the research I have done. Good purchase mate:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Very nice mate, but I'd get that kit on it and look lush asap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Andy, didn't know if it was a little too pimp I like the Range but you've done well to get the petrol model as the diesel is sluggish and struggles up hills.

Good purchase mate:) Yeah that camera system is mint, I had a go in a new Vogue Supercharger, stunning vehicle. You do get a LOT of car for the money, IMHO the biggest flaw in these is going to be petrol costs. I reset the computer when I left for work this morning, it showed an average mpg of 23 when I arrived at work (running on LPG), I still think that's a tad optimistic Very nice mate, but I'd get that kit on it and look lush asap Cheers H , my lass is actually up for the idea too, she normally hates me modifying cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Who makes them kits mate, that looks great doesn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Who makes them kits mate, that looks great doesn't it I found them on http://www.rangeover.co.uk Gaz, just contacted them, the kit (minus lights & wheels) is £1500. The lights are quite expensive as they are OEM RR units (over £1k for the front), but you could prolly pick them up from ebay in good condition if you wait a couple of months (there's always a single OSR or NSF one going cheap). Then for fitting, all panels bolt on in place of origionals, small amount of cutting non visible non structural beams to fit the deeper lights).

juanchan Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I prefer the look as it is now too. It looks more like a 4x4 than the Chelsea tractor in the second photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworm Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I see one with the kit almost everyday, they look stunning with it but I think you would need the lights and the front grill for it to work properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
