In that case get yourself a decent TD6, if you can try and find one that has had a re conditioned gearbox already, buy on condition and check that everything works as it should.
Like I said before the TD6 isn't a bad engine, getting yourself a reputable remap on it will make the World of difference.

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

It is correct, I've never owned an LPG car, as they are fine when they are working but a right pain when they are not. I do know people with them though, so my comment is not without substance.

I also like to have a spare wheel in case of a puncture, and not to die in a fireball if someone runs into the side of me, though that comment is based on Hollywood movies Laughing

Seriously though, I will agree a V8 petrol suits the rr better, but having had one, albeit a classic, I got sick of driving somewhere and having to save up to come back......

If LPG is for you, and you get a good system, it will tick all the boxes. You can either buy a nice cheap rr and put the LPG system of your choice on, fitted by an installer of repute and your choosing and have a new system with warranty etc, or buy a rr with LPG already fitted and trust it's a good one.

Do not do what my mate did which was to buy one with LPG and then wish he'd had a later system fitted to his spec.......

That said, my td6 is quicker than my V8 classic and once you are up and running, I don't notice it's a diesel as I have the music up a bit.......

The choice as they say, is yours......
