Hiya
Indeed, they do sound really nice when they’ve been done properly
Have seen on some TV programs where they cut like an electric operated shutter into the exhaust with a switch inside the cabin so can open and close it
Wonder what a nice janspeed exhaust would sound like , along with the cost
Daft question please , is the euro rating on petrols the same as diesels , please
So would a 2007 4.4 be a euro 4
Many thks

Many thks
Always handy to know ref the tax but indeed was also wondering about the lez inc the euro grading of the engines
Ah I didn’t realise that , don’t think I’ve seen any newer than 2006
See the 4.4 didn’t go in the D4 but a 5.0 litre , blimey I bet that shifts
As always most appreciated

I didn’t think there was much difference between the 4.2SC and 4.4 when driven the same.

I’m just going to state the obvious - hopefully you didn’t buy a D3 or D4 because you’re primarily concerned with mpg or l/100 km.

I’ve been able to dramatically improve the MPG on mine , just leave it on the drive
Think the last time I watched a fuel gauge go down was in a lotus Carlton my brother had bought , thk god there weren’t any speed cameras then
