Whilst mine has just gone back to LR and I have a new one coming, the result of nearly 3,000 miles, 80% on motorway was 20.1 mpg.
I am reasonably lead-footed as are most who buy these I guess. |

Thanks again for all the feedback, it really helped.
Dealer agreed to buy the car back today, it’s rejected.
There is a 6-12 month waitlist for new orders but I found another brand new unregis ... |

Thanks.
Talking to the DP today and hopefully then it goes back to LR themselves to sort it out.
Ironically I buy new cars to avoid this sort of thing….
Now off shopping for a rotten P38 to ... |

 I would agree; easiest option for them is to persuade me that “they all do that sir”.

Afternoon all,
I have already PM’d with some of you about this but now putting it out there.
Mine is a 110 Carpathian V8 and I generally love it.

Most irritating is that if you try to use the app when you ... |

they are the Q’s, said they were the only in stock.
However they are the winter wheels and we live in the UK.
So 99mph + is unlikely for any period more than a few seconds LOL

Morning all,
I just ordered the Duratec’s to go onto my V8.
Can I just check I ordered the right size?
I got 255/60R20s
They look great on that Pangea truck above! |
