I'll see your 14mpg and drop you to 11mpg from my 'G-WAC' 1989 Discovery twin carb V8.
I loved it to bits! Driven mostly with foot nailed to the floor for that V8 soundtrack.
Interiors shrivel, crossmembers rust, bulkheads disappear, inner wings go on holiday. The rest is pretty reliable.
A heady mix of Ford/ BMW and PSA in the 'new' lot - missing LCD displays, electrical gremlins but not seen much to have to fix myself. Rear bushes on the Discovery 4 are ovalising.
PSA sourced V6 diesels seem to be the biggest bugbear across the entire JLR range.
Neighbours brrraaaand new Ignium Discovery Sport has been slurping coolant for no apparent reason. Their previous PSA diesel powered Discovery Sport and Evoke never saw above 30mpg - sure, the emissions maybe cleaner but thats still a hell of a lot of refining going on!
I loved my smelly Isuzu double cab - it had been used for dog walking and stank despite binning the carpet/ rear seats. That was the 2.8 TDi and saw 40+mpg
Wot I had wiv a bangin' v8 innit!
