Do you like my new car? (Not an Omega)
« on: 18 March 2008, 22:13:24 »
Here is my new car, I collected last night.

Land Rover Discovery 300 series, 5 door 7 seater.
3.9 litre V8 Automatic
Very, very, very tidy for the money.

Drives really well, has upgraded suspension and doesn't have the usual body-roll, and pitching associated with landrovers. A slight whine from the transfer box but I think this is common.

Jobs to do - full service, and oil change in the gearbox, diffs, transfer box, etc... idle is VERY slightly lumpy, but only just noticable. I'll see what a full service brings.

For the money I paid, I absolutely cannot lose.

Doesn't appear to be any rust, Markie and I had a real thorough look underneith, and at the floor plan, doors, seat belt anchorages, etc...

So stop complaining about your Omega's fuel usages.. this beast does about 15mpg, and I've no plans to LPG it.  ;D

Looks very tidy ... correct number of pedals and the correct attachment by the rear bumper :)

Just as long as you don't stop working Omega's !! I'm still in the queue for an LPG fit ( I hope)  :)

Sure... I need to learn the Rover V8 inside out pretty quickly now too...

I do Love Omega's, and I'll undoubtedly get another sometime... but I just felt like it was time for a change, I've wanted one of these since I was a kid, and also it's a chance to learn about something new....

I can't fit a tank in the car, because I need the rear space for the dogs (or passengers, when the extra seats fold down)...

I don't really want underslungs...

I suspect that now I'm driving less and less I will just live with running a V8 on petrol and not bother gassing it...

I will however keep myself "on my toes" with LPG though, as a couple of members have asked for my help on conversions..
