Petrol is the way to go, look at the poor chaps with this PHEV nonsense, with a petrol, MPG is irrelevant, we don't have to worry about it as we are happily in denial....... Bow down

My next one will be an SC as I have noticed NO difference in towing MPG but a much better experience. just my opinion you understand

Thanks Pete, Fake News i'm afraid

That's a cracking looking car and yes jet head lining is the way to go

It has just occurred to me that not only is this the most powerful and fastest Range Rover I have owned by a long shot.

It is also the most economical..

Fatty offroader did 7mpg on average when done, and before that I had a run of Classics and they just drank petrol especially the early 3.5 carb ones...

So 20mpg on a run is superb....  Pete

Remove engine cover, degreaser, various brushes, jet wash, blow dry with airline, leave engine going for 1/2 hour to dry it out... you have to be selective where you squirt it with a jet washer but they make them capable of wading deep so most things are OK as long as you dry it properly, I then squirt this in all electrical plugs and anywhere else I think needs it...

Then some generic plastic dressing when dry, especially on the bonnet seals as they will now be very clean and have a tendency to stick and tear next time you open the bonnet...

Do it at your own risk, I've been doing it that way for years and never had any bother...  Pete
