chook1 184 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 If you have a 4x4 club near you why not go and speak to some of them, will give you a chance to see some of their 4x4's and find out for yourself which one would suit you. A lot of the 4x4's that come off roading near me seem to be the defender and discovery ones, although there are a few different types of vehicles that turn up most go home with out any problems.

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 My works van is a Defender 90. I got it the same time as 3 of my work mates had one. They are 7 years old now and all of them have had new gear boxes, one of them has had 2. The window leaks, the door does not fit properly at the bottom and the new shape Defender is only good for midgets to drive. They are good off road, but we get them stuck regularly. (Broke an Half shaft a few weeks back) They will be discontinued soon because of Euro regs. Unfortunatly for us, no other vehicle has the payload of an Defender, so we don't have a choice which 4x4 we get. If i did, i'd have an Hilux. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buch 145 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Has any one got any experiance with the ex MoD ones? They seem fairly decent for the price of em, but the only problem is they could have had a bit of hammer i guess. But they would have been serviced regularly. Ive thought of getting one for a while now as abit of a project. Might get one over summer and have a tinker about with it. Ive never realy done much mechanical stuff before but im sure ill manage with it. Cant be much ahrder than meccano eh? haha There is an MOD or associated website that sells all the landies and other vehicles. They also advertise in Landrover Owner magazine. It's called www.mod-sales.com Yer thats where ive been looking. Looks like you can get something half decent for not much over 3 grand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
