stubby 175 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 get yourself a little suzuki vitara, go anywhere a bigger 4x4 can, and more, great on petrol, mine holds around £40 full tank, not costly on insurance or tax (depending on your age) if you need space, get the 5 door version, my 3 door is a bit small sometimes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gazzer 1 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 thanks, any other info would be greatly appreciated Had my 95 jlx for a year now and im gonna run it into the ground....i paid 400 for mine ,the seller wanted 650 but i told him the clutch had gone...it hadnt,it was just stuck/stiff coz the car had been stood for a month.i knocked a couple hundred off the price and drove home smiling...i have never looked back since.....the only work mine needed was the body mounts had rotted,150 for welding and the car looked like it just rolled out the forecourt...it had 106-000 miles....automatic clutch...which means it will tick over very fast when started from cold.it kicks straight upto to 2000 revs then just leave it running for 5 mins and itll drop rick back down...then your away...last winter we had real heavy snow..most folk by me were on the phone to the AA man to come get thier bmw's and audis started....my old banger had ice on the inside...put the key and bang..off i went...the most reliable car you will ever own...plenty of cheap spares at the scrappy...40 quid to fill the tank will see you right for approx 180 miles.....amazing offroad.good ground clearance without having to lift...little small on the inside..i have taken out the rear seats and boarded it out now....my next project is to cut the back out and convert to a open cab for slinging the dog and dead bunnies in.....ill be taking this vitara to my grave.
