Hi,

Great Forum - I am looking to buy a D3 G4 at present.

One question - are all of the G4 D3s equal i.e. are there differences between the vehicles e.g. were the competitor vehicles different in any way to the media and supply vehicles?

Any other advice / pointers please feel free - any information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Marcus - I have answered your PM on the other side, but one thing to add is that the RHD D3's should all be 7-seat (there are a couple of exceptions) but the LHD are nearly all 5 seat - not sure if that affects your decision or not.

Thanks for the detailed replies on the other note Craig, I am looking at  RHD 7 seaters at present, and I think I am prepared for the fuel bills.

I have a TDV6 D3 at present and am getting approx 12.5l / 100km (it does need servicing!) - the v8 seems to be giving about 15 to 16L / 100km - by my reckoning doing about 20k kilometres per annum it will cost me €600 per annum extra - fuel being €1.20 (89p steg) per litre in Ireland (petrol and Diesel).

I have promised myslef I will stop looking at the fuel ecoonomy and just enjoy it if and when I get it :)

get it converted to LPG & laugh at people paying £1.09/l. Cost for conversion around £2000 but paying 50p/l so savings quickly pay for conversion esp if high mileage. Can recommend converter if interested.
