In the 1980's I had a V8 90 CSW. I remember it could only do about 100 miles on a tank of petrol so think I prefer my P300 110 which can do more like 400 miles to a tank full.

I agree with changing to petrol. I had a 2015 Range Rover and found the endless oil changes because of oil dilution expensive and tiresome.

Much happier with my P300 Defender.

Has anyone tried to fit deployable tow bar? I know what modules, wiring etc is needed but LR lists 2 seperate deployable bars. One for air and one for spring suspension.

I have air but I've got m ...

One of the features that I find frustrating is the inability to select low range whilst on the move.

I remember my P38 Range Rover allowed this at low speed and I found it useful if the condition ...

I think that the engine has to be running and the gears out of Park for the DRL's to come on.

My dealer has asked me to book my MY2022 P300 110 in for security update N693.

I am unclear why others have a different update number. Is it because mine is petrol rather than diesel I wonder?

Those rear facing air vents would be useful when you're transporting dogs in the back. Bet JLR hadn't thought of that. Wink
My 110 has a vent for the dogs and when I open the climate control scree ...

I have no complaints about the effectiveness of the climate control. But mine is a P300 so I wonder if the petrol engine warms up more quickly.

I have a 110 P300 and recently had a service and the dealer overfilled the engine with oil.

I complained and they sent out the AA who removed 1.1 litres to get it to the correct level as per the di ...

There was a 1969 Marcos in the tennis club carpark yesterday. You don't see many of those about now.
