mickeylove Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I dont think 1500 would even get you a pile of problems!. Unless your handy with the spanners I wouldnt look at anything under 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenix Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) Do you know the most reliable bit on a Landrover? The bonnet hinges Just dont mention jap wagons and turbos, can get costly. On a brighter note the disco 3 beat all the jap 4x4 in survey (inc reliability). Weve had a variety of 4x4 go through our shoot, the cheapest to run was a Lada, then a variety of jap stuff, problem was after a couple of years the hilux and trooper had to be scrapped due to engine problems. Admitedly they were cheap at £2K ish, but the LRs are still going, we even have one from the 60s. Edited April 9, 2009 by fenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 You might struggle with a defender at that price but you'd maybe get a reasonable disco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
