Nice looking FF would be great to see some interior pics to see how the Autobiography differs from my Vogue of a similar age. There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

Hi Rej, just went and took a couple more photos hope they help make a comparison. Just to note i think it has the supercharged front grill etc on the outside.

Thanks, looks fairly similar the main difference appears to be the screens in the headrests and the two tone perforated leather.

Cheers Rej, it is touch screen and also voice activated and has a rear parking camera. Not sure if any of that is for the autobiography versus other models as i am new to the FF club. Oh also just noticed it has a venture cam but have no idea how to operate it, looking at some of the forum posts i think it needs pairing or the batteries nedd replacing.. Nice to meet you and yes i am enjoying it despite the mpg lol, |

I am averaging between 16 & 17, goes up to the low 20's on a run if I am careful and down to 9 or 10 if used around town. There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

Hi Mark, so far it returned 24 mpg on a 150 mile motorway run at 60-80 mph which i felt was pretty good considering. However it is mainly used for short kid runs and town trips which i have yet to calculate but thinking more like 15 mpg or less. I will report as soon as i get a figure and not a guesstimate |

It looks like my guess of 15mpg round town was optimistic not terribly fussed as it will only cover 2k per year as we have a XC90 D5 as the main family bus and a vw polo 1.2 as a back up. |

Yeah mines got the same on the long run home when I got it. Mines Is used for shot trips here and there and it gets 16-17mpg Im not that heavy footed but like to give it the od blast and it never goes below 15mpg that's what I was saying i got a fright this week when it dripped down to 12 mpg ! But that was because the rear calliper had siezed. All sorted now and back up to 17mpg Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE ) |

Ah i see Mark, misread your post. I got about two hours of sleep last night so a tad off the ball today. I know it is not the correct thread but my cousin has offered me his 2014 l405 rims and wondered how the lower profile would affect the ride etc. Also my car has a rac warranty and have been told it would void it |
