tosspot Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Don't get a 90 LV as I appear to have the only one available that doesn't need work every week. Pajero SWB V6 :unsure: LB in fairness LB LV ain't gonna be spending 10K :good: For eleven years i fought the LR corner tooth an nail, an truth be told i'd have another tomorrow if it was new or as good as but since i turned Japanese (The Vapours-1980) you know what it means i ain't looked back Matt for your budget go for a Surf or SWB Pajero that way you won't get your nails all mucked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi LV Thought Ide chuck my two penneth in:- Pajero. Great on or off road. I'm now on my 2nd one. LWB Exeed 2.8 Intercooler Auto. Both of mine have been superb. Very tough, comfortable and reliable, and loaded with spec..... SWB for better Agility LWB for Space Pirate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 On that budget it depends how many you want to get in it. For offroading the short wheel base will give you more ability, and I'd say go jap as well, I've a fourtrak that goes most places and still goes to work day in day out. plenty of room for the dog in the boot but is only a 3 door so getting many in the back gets interesting. If you want something with cheap parts and cheap to mod while still being a shooting bus I'd have to say a discovery may fit the bill you do get a lot for your money but you do need to be careful what you buy. You get a bigger and cheaper range of aftermarket goodies for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Shaun Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) For that kind of money a surf seems like a reasonable option, but my top choice would be a Pajero, and if its just for fun the V6. Landys are great but they are costly, and jap stuff is pretty bulletproof. So my list in order would be: Pajero SWB V6 Hilux Surf Defender 90 V8 Disco V8 Range Rover Classic V8 And if you really want something to kill - Jeep Cherokee 4.0?

BSA Shaun Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 All of the above come in diesel mate, but avoid the classic, the diesel in that is rough as old boots. For a diesel for the money then: 2.5td Pajero 3.0td Surf 200 TDi Defender 90 Or as an outsider what about the Isuzu Trooper Bighorn? - Lotus Jobbie? 3.1 TDi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larson Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i would go landy. the jap stuff has too much to go wrong. mines a landy 90 2.5 turbo diesal and its lumpy and basic. theres not much in the way of exras such as electric mirrirs air con etc... but its less to have to fix heres the baby only paid £900 with tax and test.
