Default Landy nut from Down Under says G'Day!
Howdy all,

DOn't know how I didn't trip over this forum before. Looks like some great info and resources so will likely be dropping in regularly to check things out.

I hang out with a few other landy freaks here in Oz as well as a handful of yet-to-be-converted 4WD enthusiasts.

We try to get out amongst the rough stuff at least once a month and generally try and record the action and post it on youtube.

If you want a sneak peak at what we get up to, drop in here:

Cheers

Jim

Welcome, you mates must be putting on the sun block this time of year. Some good Rover sites based for OZ as well on the web. Here you can get a free download of the RAVE tech manuals, please note that NAS is how Rover made them for the US/Canadian market, so manual usually tells you that.

Just saying G'day from another Aussie from Melbourne! I've done so much reading on this site I thought it was time I signed up and got involved. See you round the traps.

That's normally a combination of city/highway driving. I'm pretty happy with that, although I've never done a comparison to other TDI300's... Any idea if that's good?

Worst I've done was about 12.5L/100k (18.8mpg) with:
5 people on board
back cargo bay full to the roof
full length roof rack half a metre high with camping gear
a few hours of low range craziness
a few hours highway driving

Totally worth the bad milage.
