New arrival

[noble3r]

Recently purchased a Fieldmaster. Expectations have been surpassed. Steering not an issue, footwell not an issue. Went for a petrol. Engine is smooth and quiet. Averaging in the low 20's.

Car is full of charm and character and rides better than either of our Dicovery or Velar. Let's see what happens when / if the novelty wears off...

Fantastic, looks great. They are excellent vehicles.

I vaguely wish I’d got a petrol one. I’ve only had mine for 5 months and done 4k miles, I like it more now than did when I got it - it’s not a novelty.

[Phud]

So glad someone else says the same about steering and footwell.

Tows rather well too

[Lefty]

Yep. Steering is a total non issue, get used to in minutes. It has a big turning circle but if you’re used to driving a van it’s fine.

The footwell thing, I could see it being a problem if you’re short or have the seat set very low. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Any updates from owners? Some great deals to get had right now.

[Lefty]

I’ve had mine 5 months, just had its first service at 5k miles. No problems at all with it, it suits us perfectly for what we wanted/needed.

[Familymad]

Seems an early service. Is that classed as a running in one or is it 5 k intervals?

[noble3r]

Mine is showing service in 29days ish. Called my local dealership to book 1st service and they said its not due until 12months of 12k miles (car registered in Sept 23).

Service indicator warning will be reset when serviced. Approx price of 1st service £500 incl. VAT

Chester, Ineos.

[Lefty]

It was 12 months, I bought mine pre-reg or maybe cancelled order.

455 incl vat and a courtesy car, all fluids incl diffs, both gearboxes (and engine obviously) and filters.

Looks great 👍

Is that low 20’s for mixed driving and better on a run?

Is that from the trip computer or calculated at the pump? Sounds like the petrol is not much worse than the deasil mpg wise

Many thanks

Low 20's mixed run and better on motorway / dual carriageway in 8th gear. I'm only using trip computer as the guide. I only do limited mileage and had a preference for the quietest engine choice (although note i've never driven a diesel variant). Petrol is now only approx 5p a litre cheaper compared to diesel around my area.

Ok that’s good to know. I would be interested in what it can do on a run sat at 60 and 70 mph. It it can crack 25-27 on a long run I reckon I would go petrol over the deasil!

Your have the off road tyres as well eh so the Bridgestone would help with mpg also. Not that it is a mega issue for me back have to factor everything in!

How you finding it in general? What have you come from to compare it to?

Many thanks
