Newbie in Hampshire

JimDay · Dec 3, 2011

Hi all I don't currently own a Landy of any shape or form but I am looking for either a Disco 200di or 300Tdi I may even consider a Range Rover.

I live in Hampshire with my wife Lyz & we currently own a Volvo V70 2.5T (my car) which is used to tow the caravan & a Skoda Octavia 1.6 LX (Lyz's car) The V70 does a good job of towimg the caravan but it's expensive on fuel when towing, so I am in the market for diesel Disco or Range Rover. It wont be soon but hopefully in the next 12 -18 months unless I get offered an absolute steal of a deal I may even consider a project so long as it's not a complete from the ground up rebuild

Regards
Jim Day

Hi "drewster" trouble is the wife is not to impressed with the Defenders she thinks they look to "agricultural" or "army" like I myself would have one tomorrow but it would have to be a 5 door station wagon version to make it more user friendly for when we tow the caravan & take our 2 dogs out as they are both quite big, one is an English Mastiff the other is an old cross breed but still on the large side

I am a fan of the defender, but it sounds like you need a disco2 or 3 depends on your budget really. Oh and :welcome2: to the site. a thick skin and a GSOH is required. But you will get a lot of help from a lot of nutcases who love Landies
