Do like range rovers,only 2 problems i can see are does it fit in the posh garage? and could do with full limo-tint on the windows.

It fits! 

Still considering the options on window tinting, but I suspect it will be happening at some point

Nice motors and god there cheap second hand.

Not as good as a Cayenne though 

Shame they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down though

+1 Hideous looking thing.  Plus I would not want to have to foot the bill when it goes wrong!

Got tints on my 3.2, came with it when I got it both front and rear. Took fronts out as they were very illegal, left rears in.

One really good benefit is night driving, really takes the glare out of headlights. I find it more relaxing to drive, that said, reversing at night is a bugger! 

Luckily it has parking sensors

So ~17mpg on gas? Bloody good for such a massive tank, with 4.4 V8 lump.

Not far off figures quoted here for LPG'd DBW V6's 

I was expecting ~30mpg, so I'm very happy so far!

What's impressed me even more is that it's impossible to tell that it's running on LPG!  Totally seemless switch-over, and all the power I will ever need!

Same with my 2.2, fitted right you cannot tell when it switches

Luckily it has parking sensors 

The Rangie has parking sensors front and rear, and the interior and door mirrors darken when headlights are behind.  The passenger mirror also dips when reverse is selected, which is handy!

I shall be upgrading the TV to digital soon, so I'll probably stick a reversing camera on at the same time.

I fitted a set of privacy blinds in my Veccy C estate, and was very impressed with them.  They are available for the Rangie so I might go down that route.

One I drove (well Josh's) had a wireless camera in passenger footwell, could take that out and plonk it on a near by wall. Then turn on TV in the car, brilliant! Guess it is for when one is reversing one's horsebox

The Venture Cam... I think it was originally designed for off-roading.  You can use it to check for obstacles under the car when you're in the thick, brown stuff.

Nice motors and god there cheap second hand.

Not as good as a Cayenne though 

Shame they fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down though

+1 Hideous looking thing.  Plus I would not want to have to foot the bill when it goes wrong!

I am a (proper) engineer so its generaly function over form (and you dont see the outside from the inside) and they do the function very well.

Maintenance and parts are not so rpricey, no worse than what you have.

The real kiiller on all these 4x4's is the need to change four tyres at once though, ouch!

cayenne's are useless when trying to tow trailers/horsebox across the fields or up a roadway.but then they are even useless in Chelsea too.

Very nice Twiglet!    My Mig has a Prinz LPG system and it's usually seamless! 

About time you got round to paving the drive though!!

I used to have the same issue with my old Cavalier 4x4 Turbo.  I shall just rotate them and keep the wear even, and change them all together as you say.

The good news is it has 4 brand new tyres on it, so I don't have to worry for a while.

Waiting for the spring now Tigger.  I'm about to start demo'ing the house, so there'll be skips and all sorts on the drive.  I want to get that out of the way first, and it will give the sub-base a good opportunity to settle and fully harden over the winter.
