Hi, new here, I am looking to purchase a Landrover but before I part with the readies I was wondering about a few things.
Essentially, I am after a diesel lwb pick up that will need to fit the following requirements:
1. Completely user maintainable - no electronics or anything at all that requires the services of a dealer
2. Will take biodiesel without self destructing
3. Eligible for £185 tax band
4. Will manage the odd bit of dual carriageway without feeling it's going backwards
5. Will tow without too much huffing, puffing and clutch knackering i.e. enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding
Never owned a Landy so I am not familiar with the models, engine types etc. that fits the above. I have a pathological fear of buying something full of electronics that will need a load of 'special' tools and diagnostic equipment only available at dealers.
I am mechanically competent so that side of it doesn't faze me in the least.
Would really appreciate your advice, and thanks in anticipation.

HI-caps are nice work horses though if you can manage the single cab.
