They'll tell you all about V8s and LPG for better bang for you buck, quite literally.

Pedro hasn't been brave enough to share how many bucks from his latest bang.

Hi Jim,

The only other thing to consider is effective touring range. If you plan to do another big lap then you should think about the effective range of a v8 vs TD5. In our 9 month lap in our chipped td5 we never needed to carry extra fuel but definitely would have were we in a v8 I some more remote areas such as the Limmen NP. Remember in a well tuned td5 you can have power and economy, but you will have to look a bit harder to find one with all the goodies these V8s have.

This one would be worth a look if you could stretch your budget:

Lots of nice goodies and you never know what offer they would take :

Happy searching.

Cheers

No bad V8 slagging as yet which is good. I see it as a $ saving when you buy and it will take a fair few km's to make up the difference with fuel per 100km + you get POWER.

Cheers and keep them coming.

It takes about 1/2 to make up the difference ;)

As for power - when did they install that in the V8 models???? Lol

The main instigators of slagging are V8 owners so that is hardly surprising.

You're not instigating another slanging match are you?
I hope Eevo isn't reading this.:p

Go the dark blue.
You would end up wanting to buy all that extra stuff anyway.:cool:

No, just making an observation based on threads over the last 3-4 months.

Yep me too. I would love the leather but all those goodies ,.... Wow! Can't knock them back. No brainer really.
Good luck with your choice and welcome back to the land of rovering.

Yep I'd go the vic one with aftermarket accessories. It also has ACE.

Qld one is not an SE. Stereo, rims, seats, trim etc says its a 7 seat S with an aftermarket leather upgrade.

Not enough difference in the Kms to worry about. Budget about $5-600 to re do head lining.

Cheers

Steve
