David, mine did about that at that speed and around 20mpg around town, I always thought that was OK for the performance it offered.... Pete

I ask because my 3.6 was returning just over 30 on a run up to Aberdeen earlier this week , doing around 65mph and I rarely see anything over 20 around town, so it’s certainly closer than I had imagined.

That's the direct injected modern petrol 5.0 Compared to the much older 4.2... The 5.0 is much more like a diesel in its design with its direct injection fuel system... TD or V8, consumption is much closer now with the 5.0... |

Really looking forward to your 'adventures' with this David - hopefully they won't be as immense as the 4.2SC.. well for us it would be really interesting but I fear for the health of your wallet

I hate looking at Range Rovers with the wrong sized plate on them.

I've been thinking about this more and more and doing even more reading online, especially on the American forums...
The seller hadn't moved the car for 3 weeks before I collected the car so it had sat for a long time without being started and it was as quiet as my XFR is when it starts. Prior to starting it for the first time, I cleared the codes off the car and before the car had finished cranking there was a reduced performance light back on the dashboard with the same error code. Would the car know that quickly that something wasn't right? I've read online about the camshaft phasers giving problems and there's information out there on how to troubleshoot them. Replacing them means taking the chains off anyway so it'd make sensor to do the whole lot. However, I'm wondering if it could be as simple as a camshaft sensor? If I swap Bank 1 Sensor 1 with Bank 2 Sensor 1, it'll be interesting to see if the fault moves with the sensor.

Having had my IID tool on the car tonight monitoring the live values, I can see that there’s about a 5 degree difference between the intake cam on Bank 1 and Bank 2.

I guess it’s best to get that out the way now, been following a guy in the US doing the replacement and he has had a nightmare with it.
