toby63 1,236 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 terrano is a great bus i had 1 for about 7 yrs plenty of torque in them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shootlodge 146 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Terrano, check sills & under back seat on 3 door model. avoid the petrol On the Fourtrack check the whole back end for bad rot . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
irishnut 297 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Rav4 is rubbish offroad. Maverick and terrano is the same thing. Daewoo or sanyyyong musso is a great machine. Look for the 2.8tdi merc engine. With free wheeling hubs on the front. My mate has a year 2001, got it 2 years ago with mot for £1200. Parts for it are expensive unless you look for other parts that fit. I.e rear springs from a lr disco fit it. Merc engine service parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

irishnut 297 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Defender is a crap 4x4. It needs money threw at it to be good off road, even more money threw at it to be COMFORTABLE on road. Then there is extra maintenance and RUST 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillylamp 1,830 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 totally agree with irishnut, stay away from a defender they are crap, and not worth the money they go for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
