Hi all.
I have just found and joined this site so am a brand new member. I am a new owner of a
11/6/2004 LC5 Auto 86000 miler - and am trying to learn all about the beast.
I can say that I love it
. I am driving it smoothly - 40 to 60 mph general driving (around town, stop start, not much open road stuff). I am just on my third tank full now and by measuring fuel used between fill ups - I am getting 27.5 MPG. I am pleased with that for such a heavy beast.
Re fuel consumption - I have been reading a lot in my search for knowledge and have just purchased some back issues of Total Off Road Magazine. They are running a 2001 3.0TD Colorado as a daily fleet/test vehicle and have fitted a Vortex exhaust system. Real world testing showed 24.4MPG before and 35.9MPG after fitting
(see the September 2013 back issue). Further issues of this monthly magazine report that fuel savings remain good after the fitting of exhaust system. Have a search on Vortex exhaust systems on line and look up the magazine - looks interesting. I may try one as soon as I save some pennies. For the record, I have no links to Vortex or the magazine.
If any one can help me with a problem, here it is? I want to install a rear view parking camera to operate through my Sat Nav screen. I have seen the cameras that fit the OEM number plate for sale on Ebay but don't know if my Sat Nav will play nicely. Does it have the plug in option for the camera and will it work? Can any one please help/advise? I have searched and searched and read loads of threads but ?????
I will be a regular viewer and hopefully a useful contributor as I learn more.
Happy motoring.
