110 advice needed
hi all
several years ago i owned 2x series 2a and a series 3 landrovers. after a few years of normal road cars and other boring stuff, I have decided to take the plunge and buy another landrover.
I would like a 110 or similar. something I can use for travelling to work (shirt and tie job ) and can also be used for packing gear in to go fishing/shooting. and something fairly old ie around 1990-1996. a swb would be preferable.
the problem I am having is fuel consumption. I have been spoiled in the last few years with 35-50mpg cars.
what would you guys recommend? is it worth going for the diesel (ive heard that i could expect only 20-22mpg) or go for a petrol and pay the extra for an LPG conversion?
I do mostly steady motorway work (50-70mph max) when going fishing/shooting and normal urban speeds for daily use. I also go off road quite regularly when fishing/shooting, but not very rough stuff
I am getting desperate to buy something, but dont want to buy something that is going to cost me an arm and a leg to run
I do most of my own maintenence, and the buy would be a fairly long term affair (5 years+)
I hope I have given you enough info, and also that you can give me loads of advice, regardless how small in detail.
many thanks for reading my post
