countrymaid 2 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 My car is coming upto 10 years and the farm landrover is a D reg and on its last legs, i was thinking about doing the scrap scheme on one of them and id like to get a 4 x 4 double cab but cant decide what sort. At the moment im thinking of a Mazda but im not too keen on the rounded shape on them they make the carry space look less. What do you lot drive, i need an off road vehicle and something that can tow a box and water trailers but can be an evrey day vehicle as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scuba1 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I had a Nissan double cab 4x4 as a company car and killed it in 6 month and then got a LR 120 after that and never looked back. ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
countrymaid 2 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yes my ex had a Nissan and it made too much clanging noise underneath for a new vehicle, it just never sounded right when you put it on full lock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scuba1 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I was in charge of a wind farm and 3 desalination plants at the time on Tenerife and the vehicle had to go through some rough ground with heave loads on its back and the Nissan and Mitsu L200 that they had just bottomed out big style . I changed more sumps then tires in those days. It all stopped when I changed to the LR 120 ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great for taking the kids to school and on a dry day they even manage a speed bump if every one gets out first and there is nothing on the back, but for off road............................................................................ ...................................................................
