Nigel (77 MGB) is being joined by an 04 Disco that is yet to be named (though I shall call her Blackie for now).

So after I sell my Mazda truck then I will be fully British in the garage.

Time will tell which of them will earn the role of support vehicle.

Congrats! Been an owner of a D1 for 10 years, some problems but nothing serious yet. Have a bunch of stuff ordered to renew it. Have had an 88 RRC and a 96 P38 4.6 Range. Good picture in front of the fuel marquee at 342 a gal. Remember the 04 will deliver optimum performance and fuel mileage on premium fuel, some have used lesser fuel but you will need additives occasionally. Welcome to the lifestyle of a Land Rover, they aren't just vehicles, but a lifestyle ( it is British )!

Thanks Larry. That picture was in California where I purchased it but I live in Dallas and Costco's price for high grade is $2.25 this week. Besides I am going through a lifestyle change that has cut my round trip commute for work from 100 miles per day to under 10 miles per day :banana:

Thanks Sir, Gertrude has the 4.6 V8.

She's a high octane Jezebel though, I have verified the 12 city mpg, unfortunately - lol.

Strongly recommend that you shop for and purchase a quality aftermarket extended warranty plan. Mileage and time repairs on the LR's can be EXPENSIVE...

I recommend see if you can get Warranty Solutions or if you have a LR dealer nearby there Aegis/Apco/EasyCare(they handle the LR extended warranty) is acceptable.
