Current Merc GLE 3.5d 2016 model, 2011 RRS HSE standard Previous 2012 FL2 liked but boot too small Previous to LR's 3 x Merc E320 estates - fantastic load carriers and long distance cruisers, ultra reliable. Only changed as needed a 4x4 high tow vehicle. Did have a 1955 early LR drop down windscreen and fuel tank under the drivers seat; again very reliable and super rugged. |

I have borrowed a 5 litre 550 bhp mustang for a couple of weeks. Drive it like I stole it and average 10 mpg. Makes my RRS S/C look positively economical. So all is good. Apart from that, normal s/c mpg is about 20. Agree with previous posts, enjoy the rrs, forget running costs. If economical driving is your thing, buy a Nissan Leaf! Thanks - Morty

Nissan Leaf economical?????? 45 miles on a full battery if you are lucky and drive it like a granny and that charge takes about 3 tonnes of coal/ oil/gas to produce and there are more emissions than your S/C to make it too! I see loads of them in my area on the backs of flat bed truck being hauled back to the local Renault dealer for a special jump start after they've run the battery completely flat!

^ What he said. Get a 2005-2009 RRS (FAH500210) sat nav/dash mat here - the one that wasn't there when you bought the car. Spiffing wheel centre caps available |

Maybe they should have took the Nissan Leaf to a Nissan dealer Not a Renault Dealer. I would not buy a E car, cost of batteries is 1000's or you have to pay rental on them every month. My RRS returned 21 MPG around town , and 28MPG on run at excess of 70 MPH. That was better than my Ford Kuga Ecoboost 1500 petrol small engine itisme Last edited by harrygh60 on Mon Dec 28 2015 12:29pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Harry, our local Renualt dealer is also the local Nissan dealership, same principal and company, Arnold Clark. Both are sold from the same site withl separate showrooms but common servicing/workshop building. They also sell Dacia from the same forecourt. Our local LR dealership sells SEAT, FIAT and Tata from the same site as their Land Rover and Range Rover sales, but LR and RR are from a completely separate showroom and workshops on the same plot 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
