after seeing this vid:

im sorely tempted to spend £400 on an exhaust to unleash some of that v8 noise.. but does it really suite a range rover?

Discuss.

Remembering that it looks like this:

I wouldnt, werent you considering selling?

Youre fuel consumption would also go up.

If you were going to keep it then Id probably say yes, but most buyers would want a standard exhaust. unless you kept the standard one and then put it on when it sold.

looking at like £2000-£2500 for the conversion.. is it paying for itself? probably not, and the shortness of my trips means its unlikely itll get warm enough to switch to gas before i get there

LOL... nieve.  :lol:

Ive ridden commutes from 24 miles (there and back), down to 2 miles (5 mins), in city traffic, on country lanes, and at speeds from 5mph to those approaching 35 - 40mph.

Ive yet to ever turn up at work hot and sweaty. A little short for breath maybe, but thats because I chose to cane it down a small hill prior to getting there.

Closest ive been to it is doing the 24 mile commute in a waterproof jacket, that got me sweaty, still not hot. In fact I put a long sleeved top on that day for the journey back because I was cold due to the wind chill you get when going around 20mph.

Rain does sometimes suck I guess if you arent used to it. But thats a car day then :) Doesnt mean you need to use your car every day. :)

You dont need the engine at normal temp to switch to LPG, it might help, but you dont need to.
