silver pigeon 3 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 LWB Frontera series A in 2.8 TD, should cost you less than £800 for a good one. Had mine for about 4 years and has never let me down, more than capable off road with the right tyres on. The 2.8 TD is an Isuzu engine and is pretty bullet proof as long as the oil and filter is changed regulary. I think it is hard to beat without spending a lot more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Disco 300TDi It may rot, but it will never fail to start! 30MPG all day long and about as cheap to buy, insure and repair as you can get. Lovely! Here's my old 3 door: Took me everywhere without issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
