My old 4.2 SC was around 13 mpg when towing the hayburner on A roads. V8 or else ... |

Christ you're still here, how's the west coast ??, Knew it wouldn't be pretty, put up with dreadful economy 4-5 times p.a. no dpf / egr stuff to worry about is a big plus .

Welcome almost back.
Probably what I should have bought in hindsight, then I wouldn't be having the service light come on every couple of months due to diesel dilution of the oil caused by the DPF malarkey. Like you Mr Tee, my mileage isn't large, it's all lots of short runs. So knowing what I know now, I'd go petrol. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black 2018 D300 SE Velar in champagne Spiffing wheel centre caps, L322 sill repair panels, etc |

If you want all the extras then it’s a SV Autobiography you’re after. I tried for almost a month to find what was important to me the signature sound system in an autobiography not really fussed with the screens but had to be petrol as a lot of short journeys and finally purchased one last month. 2021 SVautobiography Dynamic Black ( Black wheels need to go )

I’ve had it a little over a month and done 800 miles so you can see I’m not the greatest traveller. I picked it up from Guildford and drove back to in between Llanelli and Carmarthen, steady I must admit at 65mph on the cruise as any more points I’m done and achieved just under 32mpg when I got home. I reset the trip and it’s doing just pottering 20mpg so I thought 18mpg just pottering and 28mpg on a run before the purchase so happy so far. These are a bit more powerful than 525 but I honestly don’t think you would tell the difference if you floored it but stand to be corrected with members that have driven both. I say take the plunge 2021 SVautobiography Dynamic Black ( Black wheels need to go )

Cheers , to be honest that’s perfectly acceptable. The man maths have changed and I think I can get my backside in an SVA Dynamic hopefully . Fingers crossed . |

a wonderful place to stop, there is a farm shop/cafe just off the previous junction that uses the same products as Tebay but much cheaper First time FFRR owner |
