it does run closer to 3 at idle when cold, in fact a little above 3 if i recall.

its a pain having a uk model, its getting a 3" lift soon and the kit comes with a track bar from over the pond... need a right hand drive one instead.

i'd love to have some of the places you guys go wheeling, the UK is not good for places like that or the scenery.

All the mail carriers in our area have RHD XJs. How do they make any money blasting around, starting and stopping with a 4.0?
