Which land rover would you buy?
« on: February 11, 2007, 22:19:53 »
I will have about £1500 (tops) within a few weeks to buy a replacement land rover.  What would you buy?  If its diesel it must be turbo, if its v8 it must be lpg.  So I think the choices are, another tdi disco (maybe an old 300tdi?) a v8 range rover or a very old 110.  How bad is the 2.5td defender engine?  

Must have at least 3 seats, pref 5 with belts.  For offroad use and some road use but not needed as a main car, ie dont have to commute in it or anything.  

So come on, what would you buy?

Series 2/2A/3, with a 2.25 Diesel or 2.5 N/A lump.  Not as bad as everyone often makes out because the ones they talk about are worn examples.

I do quite fancy a range rover.  Dont know if I would prefer a V8 on gas though.  

Hmm decisions!

Its not actually gone yet but its on the way.  It needs a few bits doing and I fancy a change.  Seems daft to spend time and money fixing it to get rid when I can just get rid as is.  

As for the v8 burble, I think I am getting closer to deciding it has to be a v8 range rover on gas.

That's what's so great about them.  Not many things can make you hate them yet love them at the same time.  :lol:
