at 17mpg its not worth thinking about gas if you dont do a big load of miles, my new lc100 4.2 d is showing 22mpg on the trip computer so if you like petrol its worth it for more power and quieter -tidy car interior looks great-

some new pics ....

wanted to see how far it would go before lifting a wheel .... twist isn't bad considering it's a standard setup ...

rear difflock works too ...

Oh, it's GREEN!!!!!!

Hah Hah, been for a drive through some puddles Carl? Sure it was a sort of grey colour last time I looked. Not bad. They are good even in std trim. I still fancy the full Gavlift arrangement. It's mental articulation. But I resent paying £1400 for something I know will rust the day it comes out of the box.
