dunganick Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 havent got one, but they are fine looking machines, and by all accounts are better than any other softroader off the beaten track. enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Shawn, Had a good play with my Dad's RR sport with the TDV6 engine. Exactly the same mechanicals as the LR3 and I can assure you they are very, very smooth indeed. Sat Nav is superb... B) Actually borrowed a LR3 TDV6 for a day last week and they are a million miles away from my old Tdi 300! Good choice I reckon. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deako Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Shawn, At the moment, with just about 1K miles on the clock, averaging 25 MPG...should see 28 when the engine beds in around 10K. All the RRS's are auto's...no manual available on this model, although the commandshift does enable a 'tiptronic' style option if you want it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 A m8 of mine just got one and is delighted with it. He has had it off road plenty and not managed to bog it in yet (with road tyres) but its still fairly dry. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
