Thanks Nige,
To be honest I've had enough of the X factor that my RRC possesses. I
know that the Trooper will have the J factor (bland 'does what it says
on the tin' of a Jap motor), but I really want a machine that isn't
falling apart at an increasing rate with space, towing power, a proper
back door and enough height to be above the run-of-the-mill cages (but
less than 6'2'' high) that stops and starts when I want it to do so.
The height restriction rules out Discos and Defender.
The fact that my friend has done half of the mileage of his Trooper and
he is only the third owner makes me more inclined to buy his vehicle
rather than look for a lower mileage but more expensive option.
Unfortunately his is manual but having had to replace the autobox on the
RRC I'm tempted by the hope that a manual box is more hardwearing that
an autobox. What do you think? And is the Trooper under 6'2'' high?
