fullthrottle Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 i have owned my supercharged range rover for six years now and when the misses and i go to our second home in bulgaria it's perfect plenty of room and comfortable i have a ps2 and a flip down screen to keep you occupied for the long journey as far as fuel i hate to think how much money i have spent but on the plus side i did have a multi injection lpg kit fitted which has saved me loads, plus i still retained the original fuel tank i must admit though it is scary if you fill both tanks up at the same time your looking at about 180 pounds.

heckler Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Not the new 2.4TDCi engined one though! Having driven most types of deffender, 300, TD5 and the puma (2.4 TDci) the puma engines are far far better than any of the previous, especially towing and going off road on a 6 speed box. I now have a Discovery 3 - which is essentially a range river sport with a different shell, so watch out for the air compressor, they pack up!

They drive better than the TD5, 300TDi etc, but the Transit engines in the new ones are not particularly reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that one, the last puma defender I drove a small wire broke which controlled the variable vane on the turbo! As soon as it was fixed all was good. Luckily I don't have to pay for fuel or repairs on them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin-mkiv Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Proper RR is the only way to go....Sport is for wannabes. You know this because there's no-one builds a bespoke gun-cabinet for a Sport! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the best car I've ever owned I think, fantastic in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only since they turned into what they are nowadays. No doubt they are a great car, but the stigma with them is not attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't think there is a stigma associated with the full fat range rover, definately is with the sport though. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
