Ocset 91 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I use a Vitara. It's a lot better off road than people think. The only problem is, it hasn't got the room that a disco or Subaru have. It's only small but so is my dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 the landys run on all sorts like 3 ltr home heating oil to 1 ltr cooking oil mixed then smells like chips out the back, but the titanic was better at keeping water out. check chassis, boot floor, sills, rear arches, front arches and foot wells. as they rot like a beastard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
