Welcome to OOF
The engine is closely related to the TDV6 in my Jag (although the 3l TDV6 is more related to the 4.4 V8, with the 2.7 TDV6 closer to the 3.6 TDV8). They don't sound lorry like, do they.
.Is that the tractor powered TDV8 lump?Noice, very nice.
Year, engine? I might have missed posts elsewhere.. Now Tilbo can get himself over to https://www.rrsport.co.uk - second most helpful forum I've found after OOF as there are actual technical people there(Like OOF)
It was registered Nov 2007 1 owner full history now on 87,000 miles 3.6 V8 twin turbo , never even considered a Land Rover but after seeing & driving this had to have it
It's an HSE so got everything apart from a television.
I am liking that
Majority of thieves want to be away in under a minute, brand new range rovers can be done in that time, if it comes to having to hack a decent steering lock off they will go elsewhere.
Sorry to have derailed you thread Tilbo
.Lovely machine . Hate to say it but please put a disclock on the steering wheel as these are extremely easy to steal, I'd hate you to lose it !
I've cut off Disclocks in under 5minutes with a Leatherman Wave.......
Tubular lockpicks are even cheaper.
In the end, this country will get exactly what it deserves. We are no longer a United Kingdom, nor a Great Britain. We are a pathetic little island full of foreigners, squabbling among each other while other countries snigger at us and buy up all of our companies..
Unfortunately, there are still a class of people about who think we are still a world power. I'm sick of hearing about how we are the fifth richest country in the world. No, we are not. We generate the fifth largest amount of money in the world, but then spend it on welfare payments for no hopers and lazy bastards. Any thing that is left is squandered on the bottomless pit which is called the NHS ( no, not the finest in the world, just the most expensive).
I've had it with this shithole, and I feel very sorry for the younger, indigenous population.

No knob head Liverpool comments please!

You can much more easily upgrade the stereo in the pre-facelift interior, I believe.. not many options for mine (2010, facelifted interior) beyond retro-fitting 2012/13 gear or the single Android option, both of which are (very) expensive.
Noice, very nice.

Certainly does. And for once good to see a car that actually makes its figures. Or mpg figures that aren't grossly overstated. Depending on how you look at it..
I waved my terracan off about a week ago. Was sad to see her go, but also knew for sure she needed £500 to get a new MOT, so it was the time to shift her.
Glad to have you back sir!. The least I've had is 25 mpg the best last weekend went to see my Brother in law who lives in Ninfield near Battle 332 miles there & back put in 50 litres so 30mpg very happy with that the Terracan used to do 32 but the RR is a much nicer place to be ,the acceleration is very good for a vehicle weighing 2.7 tons. It is 1.5 seconds slower on the 0-60mph than the 5.0 supercharged so is ample for me.
What's the MPG like on the V8? I read that the bigger tdv8 is slightly better. Then again, at the price you got it for...
.Well I'm back under a new name had a lot of problems with our internet which my Grandson tried to sort out as I don't have a clue ! Anyhow Merc has gone back to MTSV & may be going to a buyer in Hong Kong he also bought the Terracan from me in readiness for the winter. I have now got a vehicle I thought I would never buy a Range Rover Sport ! It's a one owner with full history with 87,000 miles 3.6 V8 twin turbo & I absolutely love it.😎
The V8 part of the equation has much to commend it....
But, unless I'm mistaken, the 3.6 twin turbo part means it runs on the fuel of Satan.
Are you aware of this, Mr Tilbo?.........if so what is your defence?
