    Impending sale of Land Rover & Jaguar

    Hmmm I feel some of you need to read accounts a little better. Jaguaris the problem brand from a profit point of view, not LR. They are very profitable with good year on year increases. But LR is tied in with Jag, the Fl2 is made on the Jag line in Merseyside not in Solihull. Tata haven't...

    Range Rover TD6 anyone towing with this???

    Take it to JE Engineering who do a great tune for the TD6, which makes the car a lot more pleasant. If you've got the money the TDV8 3.6 is a real peach of an engine.

    Fleetwood Heritage

    Calm down! We've had one for 18 months and had no issues despite having 2 young kids and 5 dogs the van is like new. When we looked at EC a couple of years ago I said to my wife the one van I won't be looking at will be Fleetwood, but I gave Richard Allen a right grilling, met the Adria head...

    Disappointing visit to the NEC

    We went to Earls Court a couple of years ago and asked every manufactuerer if they could do a van with alde heating, 2 bunks at the rear as well as a side dinette, decent shower and toilet and an overall good quality feel. Vanmaster thought I couldn't afford it - their loss and everyone else...

    Heaters in Caravans

    We have alde heating in our van and keeps us tosty warm in the coldest of weather. Unlike blown air heating when it gets to temperature it doesn't carry on blowing cold air around the van. Also no fires to burn the kids on, just radiators like at home and even a towel rail in the bathroom.

    Twin Axle required with fridge freezer!

    My Heritage has bunks, Fleetwood will modify to order - at a cost, but for us they made the perfect layout and spec, short of building a 15m long caravan !!!

    We had a Frontera 2.5 Transglobe it was a great car (Isuzu engine) no problems with it but it was juicy, around 20mpg. Even my Disco3 with a TA manages about 22mpg!

    Blown air heating - ever got it working?

    We got fed up with it in our Abbey, combined with the fact my son burnt himself, so we switched to a van with Alde heating, far far better IMO

    who should Buy Land Rover from Ford?

    Seems some of you should read this http://www.topgear.com/blogs/planettopgear/053-setting-the-record-straight/ LRs profitability off the volume rivals Porsche. IMO they won't sell any of it, if they do sell LR it will only be as a sweetner for Jag. BMW sold LR because they were going the wrong...
