I hope that what you're all saying about the "real Rangie" are true. I just spent about five times what I could sell mine for, having it serviced and doing some items that have been on the "to do list" for ages.
Still rather have my RRc than spend heaps on buying a new one that may not be as reliable, and put the balance against my retirement.

WEEE RR SPecial:D:D:D
Having only recently acquired my RR, I am pleased that there is now a dedicated forum for classics like mine.
I am still in a learning curve with my rangie and am finding out things everday.
Questions that I would like to ask are-
What sort of economy should I get on gas? At present I am only getting approx 26lt / 100 km. Should I get it tuned or is this normal?
What sort of tyres do other RR owners use on their cars. I would be using mine 95% on roads and 5% on river tracks [sand and / or mud] no rocks?
As I have a auto with a viscous diff, how much difference in the rolling diameter of the tyres is allowed before heating might occur in the VC.?
Frank [clarkies old man]:confused::confused:
OOPS I mean rolling circumference not diameter
SORRY
G’day Frank.
Tyres. I have been getting a great run out of Bridgestone 604V All Terrains. Bitumen [lots], mud and rocks – seem to do it all with out a hassle. Not been bogged yet and have been in some deep, gooey mud [diffs dragging on the ground]. Granted they’re not a dedicated mud runner but they do ok. And not one puncture. Every other tyre brand I’ve tried I’ve always managed to collect stone punctures but not these Bridgestones. Probably get more of the same next time around.
The trannie viscous coupling and tyres. I rotate tyres frequently so the problem of uneven wear never occurs. I also follow in principle the LR recommended tyre pressure variation from front to back. LR recommends 28PSI front and 38 psi at the rear. I opt for 32 front and 38 rear. Hope this helps. Cheers. Grumbles.
