Thanks for nothing guys I will stick to my Toyota's at least I know if I need any help or advice I can ask and someone will help. I am really glad I didn't buy a Jeep and ask for help.

Try the main dealer, there 1000% worse. Useless comes to mind !! No wonder there a hard sell & in small numbers here uk.

ps, under 2000rpm in the 2.5crd 2004, i get 32/34 mpg easy.

some poeple just want to be spoon fed infomation Rolling Eyes

(was that you asking for help is it real hard to type in parkers price guide as 99% of motors are in there and that gives you all the info you have asked for )
enjoy the yota pal they are good motors

I could look at parkers but I wanted real fuel consumption figures of the people who know not the load of old crap that the manufactuers claim! so the petrol versions are the same mpg or there abouts? petrol is cheaper than diesel and petrol cars are cheaper to buy

All you need to know is jeep means Just Empty Every Pocket.

If your worried about mpg then a Jeep isnt for you simples.

I have a landcruiser and a hilux so am no stranger to the filling station. Just fancied a change and didn't want to buy something that wouldn't do 23mpg which i would expect ideally.

Bought a V6 3L 4Runner if I got 23mpg I would be over the moon!

Great choice. Get yourself on the surf forum too if you have not already. The V6 is no worse of fuel than the 3.0TD I have. We should do some laning sometime.

I am already on the Surf forum, Oh and I sold the 4Runner to a guy at work and made £200 out of it (he made the offer) I had to let it go and didn't get chance to get attached to it!
