jgguinness Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ok here goes. I currently have an old Disco 96, that is getting a bit long in the tooth and due for replacement soon. At the moment I've no debt at all, no credit cards, loans, overdrafts etc and quite like it that way. I love Land Rovers, have had loads etc, and like them. However a vehicle replacement is due soon. Should I get say a Disco 2, even say cat D write off (father in law is a panel beater for a large ins chain etc) so can get it repaired easy enough, or go for something like an L200etc with a cover on the back? Budget wise, I'm a tight ****** so say £4000 tops. I've heard horror stories of mechanical probs with the L200, Navara etc. I know Hi Lux have a better reputation. Off road wise all I have known are Land Rovers, are they that much better than others?? Also, if I did go for a pickup, how water tight are the rear covers?? Kind regards Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I know of a 110 CSW for sale at under 3k fella selling it is a good guy, been laning with him and its well serviced, 200tdi engine as well but does want a couple of small jobs doing hence the price Mainly the rear drivers door welding up a little on the frame and a small patch on the passenger bulkhead pillar but thats the lot IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You will get a lot more for your money with a pickup, 4k will get you a decent l200 or ranger arround an 05 plate. Rear backs are water tight assuming a decent one, reliability depends mostly on how they have been looked after. Look for a well cared for one with service history and you won't go far wrong, then use milners for any parts you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fib new Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 If you are a land rover man, go for a td5 disco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
