I went from a 2006 Vogue tdv8 to a 55 plate first edition RRS Supercharged for exactly the reason you have stated. Fuel consumption is between 16-21 mpg but the smile on my face everytime i get in is priceless. I spoke to a few people about the gas option but i tended to get more negative comments about it than positive so i didnt bother in the end.. Thumbs Up


whats the difference between te first addition RRS and next version?


No idea mate Very Happy Can anybody enlighten us?? Thumbs Up

I personally dont like the whole LPG thing. Id say get one with lower mileage and leave it standard petrol.

If i was looking for one id stay away from LPG incase it went wrong + the added issue of having to find an LPG filling station.

Figure £70 saving on 500 miles in a S/C over the TDV8 so its not that bad. A TDV8 will cost you £10k more and i wouldnt consider the 2.7 if you want sporty.

The sound of the S/C is lovely, try and find one with lower mileage and forget the LPG Very Happy

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

I got my old X5 3.0i petrol converted, it worked out half the price of running it on petrol, u get a little reduction in yor road tax aswel but I mean little. Theyre was no loss in power and didn't effect the car at all so it was worth getting it fitted. It's only really worth doing if u plannin on keepn the car for a couple years so u get back the money u spent on install. I thnk the issue with land rovers being lpg'd is that the cylinder heads are softer and get hotter wen runnin on gas but if you got it installed at a decent place they fit sum kinda mechanism that cools the engine, sounds serious but it's common practice. I would recommend getting LPG if u already hav a supercharged car but in yor case I would ring round first for a quote and then work out wetha it's worth Getting the cheapa s/c or if 4 a extra 2grand wil get u a diesel tdv6. Thumbs up for LPG tho! Speak to someone reputable for advice and price, I dealt with CLS dualfuel at Durham they were spot on and very well known. Hope that helps Very Happy
