What would you buy with £2000 max
« on: April 09, 2007, 16:35:37 »
No I'm getting lots of conflicting advice and I can not decide on what to buy... £2K is the max but hoping to spend less.

I'm thinking about a 200 or 300 Disco or a SWB Diesel Shogun manual. just cannot make up my mind, and SWMBO keeps making unhelpful suggestions, like get a fiesta! AAAGGGhhhhh

Usable and solid Land Rover Series 2/2A with perhaps a 2.5 NA Diesel fitted.  :D

Bit of both, just the odd green lane and daily commute too and from work... around 20 miles a day commute so not far.  No V8's SWMBO would freak... I want a diesel.

for 2k your in 200 and 300 tdi disco territory - or Pajero swb, and just about lwb !
frontera?? swmbo loved hers - petrols are cheaper- but the2.3 td is often overlooked - but quite capable!
why not a RR with LPG?
plenty available - and going for peanuts lately!

Just looked at that one on your Frontera's site, I thought they only did the SWB in a 2.0 petrol, It looks nice just bloody far away...

Gotta be a Disco.  Solid lumps, cheap at the moment, will fulfil all your needs.

Well guys I must say the Green oval is winning me over, I love my Zuk but like most off road fans fancy a Land rover to tinker with poke with a stick and cover in stickers.
