You can still do low miles in a 4.4 - it's just short trips it doesn't like. You will likley find it easier to get a 4.4 in the spec you want and at a lower price as they are more available on the used market. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

To be honest, do also do quite a lot of short trips .. |

Overall, got around 21 out of mine - mixed roads but generally not short trips. Would be higher on sensible speed motorway runs but lower if using the performance more or towing. Mike - MPx

Quite possible I think to get an average of 20mpg but depends a lot of the trip profile and how heavy you are on the pedal The 5.0 SC can be a tempting beast to exercise the HP. Mine is a 2011 and I guess I'm doing around 17-18 MPG on a long average. I like to use the power where safe to do so and generally make 'progress' when on the motorway. Do a lot of small trips 5-20 miles probably daily and two or three times a month may do a long run 110-130 miles each way. On the long runs even with pushing it I think I can get 23-25 MPG and if I push it less I've managed 28 MPG. Around town its going to be much less but I never check that for sanity One tip if you get one is always keep the tank topped up. I find it helps with the experience. I generally try and top it up when I see the guage around half full. As these beasts have a 100L tank it can get a bit scary at the pumps if you are down to a 1/4 tank or less! ----------- Current Garage -------------------- 2011 Range Rover L322 5.0 S/C Autobiography 2015 MINI JCW Hatch 2006 BMW 650i V8 Conv 1997 Range Rover P38 4.6 V8 HSE 2014 Harley Davidson Fat Bob ----------------------------------------- |

This is getting more and more tempting...

I bought my s/c in May 2018 with around 70k miles - I was well aware of the timing chain issues and looking out for it - early 2020 I started getting some unusual clicking noises from the engine. Had it checked out by local main dealer and they diagnosed timing chain guide issue and a bearing in the supercharger going. Probably could have hunted around and got an indy to do it cheaper but bit the bullet and coughed up around 4.5k for both to be repaired by MD.

Bought mine at around 60k miles. Chains went at around 108k. Found that not many indies wanted the job and struggled to get help - (that was the start of 2021 so maybe other factors). Potential huge bill (local MD quoted £8k), but the real killer for me was timing as I needed to keep using the car, so bought the SVA instead. Awesome car though - no regrets having had it.

I average 17-18mpg from mine. I do like to exercise it occasionally once it's warmed up though

2009 5L SC @ 78k miles. My best has been 24.8mpg, but usually it’s around 22-23mpg. However, I only really use it for longer trips, so motorways here in Ireland and same after ferry to UK. In saying that, I’d did good mpg on smaller roads around North Wales too. I rarely break 100km/h and rarely accelerate hard. I’ll switch off cruise control and use a light foot if I feel it’s getting a bit thirsting in cruise control. |

Ive only had my 5.0 for 3 weeks but on a recent 240 mile trip to wales with the cruise set at 72 for most of the journey it returned 25.8 running on 99 octane Esso. I was happy with that. |
