Surely these diesels should be good for 300,000? I am wanting to keep one for a good few years.
And yes I do tow a boat and a race car on a car trailer. awd and rwd seem to be the same price, would I be right in saying the awd would average 1 extra litre per hundred?

this engine has been around for some time, esp in LR discovery, and many high km examples around. i'm hoping for my sake they are good for at least 300k.
As for mileage, the official combined figure was 8.2 for RWD and 9.0 for AWD (or 8.8 for TX AWD), so not a lot in it.
I went with RWD as I don't need the added complexity of AWD.
