Be very carefull if buying one of these, make sure it's got a good history and that everything works as it should, do your research well and you will be rewarded with the best towcar ever made but, get it wrong and you will be broke in a few weeks, looking for a second car and swearing like a trooper!

The engine is a version of the old 3500cc from the first Range Rovers and earlier it goes back to an American Buick, they didnt like the Aluminium engine with some justification, the 4.6 has some common issues relating to head gaskets and cylinder liners and is a little overgrown for it's block.

It has a timing chain and one camshaft.

I'm afraid I know nothing about the timing chain/belt question, but as far as fuel consumption is concerned, you'd be well advised to have it converted to run on gas. The mpg wil be the same but the cost will be almost halved.

They're superb as tow vehicles, I know a chap using one to pull a heavy trailer around the countryside roads & lanes all day & he loves it.

Having one gassed may even reduce the emmissions & drop the cost of the RFL, that'd be worth looking into.
