Our two week old Metropolis has settled into a 36mpg average, but was indicating 41 after a gentle run.
Very pleased, given its only done 500 miles. |

The rear wiper motor for the FL2 is made by Valeo.
For the first few years of the FL2 production, the product was licenced for LR use only, which means individuals couldn't buy the unit from Valeo ... |

Just turned 500 miles in our Metropolis today, still very pleased with it, and it's proving better on fuel already than our previous manual box 2007 SE.
Highly recommended, even by my performance c ... |

Ours was from Hatfields in North Yorkshire. It looks great, and represents good value for money.

Are there any huge mileage examples on here? I know some UK Police Forces use the FL2 ( I'm jealous as all I get is an Outlander!) ... |
