Hi Matt

Welcome - there is a good bunch who meet in Hinkley, think is't first Tuesday of the month... worth looking in the regional meets section for an upadte.

As for advice... there are plenty of different views - that's what makes it interesting.  Good luck with the purchase!

All the best
Discovery 300 Tdi - 2" lift, side exit exhaust, HD bumpers, T-Maxx 9500, removable tow hitch, snorkel and 235/85's

Discovery 4 Commercial - very standard but very nice!

Thanks for the warm welcome people.

I'm looking for a 4x4 to pull my car transporter trailer with, also to do some light off roading with?(maybe)

I'm not fussed with condition, as I like a challenge!
How much would I be looking at for a 4x4 that's on the road but will want some work??

Thanks Matt

How long is a piece of string? you can pick an old series motor up for less than £400 and that can rise to upwards of £70k if you buy top of the range hi-spec 4x4.

The more details you give the better advice you'll get. So budget, number of seats/doors, engine/fuel type. etc etc

Yes keep it as standard as possible. get some decent AT tyres and, go out and use it. Then decide whether it needs modding. Ypu'll be pleasantly surprised at how capable a std disco is.
