2004 Range Rover Td6 Vogue Auto Zermatt Silver
L322 at last!

I have just bought a 2004 TD6 Vogue. Silver with charcoal leather. Ever since the L322 was introduced I have liked the look of it and at last I have one.

Range Rovers started for me in 2002, when sorting out a blown head gasket on my 1993 Mercedes 300TE 24v was taking forever. I found and bought a 1985 Range Rover 3.5 carb with a 3 speed auto as a temporary car. I loved it and in 2004 I bought a lovely black 1989 3.5 EFi Vogue SE as my main car to replace a 1998 Audi A6 2.4SE Tiptronic. I loved it, but the 18mpg hurt and a year later I went back into a Mercedes saloon. In December 2005, a friend wanted my Mercedes so I had to find myself a replacement car. We looked at several Mercedes E320 estates but they were either rusty or low spec., so I said to my wife we could always have another Range Rover... she said yes, so we bought a 1997 Range Rover 4.6 HSE. It played up a bit and we took several large bills and 16 mpg, but I loved it and kept it for five years.

Now I have the TD6 Vogue and still have and use the “temporary” 1985 3.5 carb.! For a week I owned the P38 as well, so had three Range Rovers... unfortunately it was a snowy week and not ideal for taking photos, but I did manage a couple just to show when I owned three generations of Range Rovers!

The future: my wife is not keen on the charcoal interior, as I had lightstone before - and I would like a V8 diesel engine, so one day……………

I have now towed for the first time with my TD6, the boat is a 23 foot Trail boat designed for inland waterways with ramp launch and weights 2 tons on its trailer. While as a car the TD6 lacked some go compared the 4.6 petrol P38 I had before, for towing that torque really feels good and the much criticized heavy kerb weight just takes it a class above the P38.
