Can I get something decent with this sort of budget ? Thank you in advance for any advice / ideas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oakey 57 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think it maybe the luck of the draw . Just spent £150 having my disco serviced after 6 years running every day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,551 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I like landys ... Would own one in a flash but they ain't a worry about it at mot time sort of motor , they need regular check overs ... But if you want any kind of comfort and low maintainance get a jap , me personally I'd be looking at a hilux surf cause I like them lol ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I have both a freelander and a grand vitara, use both and as much as I love the freelander for its space, if and when it goes bang, I'll get a 5 door grand as a replacement, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

herdwick 52 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Only had 2 vehicles in 39 years. Series 3 landrover lasted 19 years then I was "advised" not to tow with it. Got a 3 year old hilux 20 years ago. Still going, wouldn't have a landrover as a gift! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
