I found, based on consumption and cost of the fuel, the best compromise was 95......

A post from a previous thread.....

"For what it is worth I tried them all (91, 95, 98) when I bought my D3 V6 about a year ago..... ran it on 91 (Regular), 95 (Premium), and 98 (Super Duper Premium??). Compared costs of fuel with fuel consumption etc.....

In the end, premium, 95, is the way to go. Extra cost of fuel is saved by improved fuel consumption, so it is actually cheaper to run on 95 than 91, despite 91 being cheaper by the litre. 98 Is considerably more expensive and no notable improvement in fuel consumption. Funny enough, after trying all this I read the manual and it recommends 95....."

[Another question.. what is the height of the D3 in std form? For example when I go into an under cover carpark, what sign should I look out for? Will I be ok with "Max 1.9M"?[/QUOTE]

Flip down the drivers side sun visor and it tells you the height, I think it is 1.95 if you do not have roof racks etc.

Easier than trying to remember, or drive really slowly waiting for a grinding sound.

Look at the back of the drivers side sun visor

Hi, I'm new to the forum & thought I share a 'sale' at Melbourne LR. Side steps going for $1520 fitted (or $1200 not fitted). Parts guy was saying it was a 3 hour job to fit if your technically competent.
I was also thinking of getting the "A" frame bar winch, with the winch planned in the distance future. Any thoughts on this?
All this before Australia Day... hopefully..

Hi tequesta,
Welcome to AULRO.

For me, the A-bar is a waste of time as it doesn't protect the corners from the most likely incident - skippy.

The steel ARB bar was the first item on my list.

HTH,
Peter
