Wot 4x4s have you had!!...

forgot works hilux.Wish icould, crap off road, burnt the clutch attempting to follow me 110!

had a 1968 series 2a petrol, only paid 100 quid for it, only cost a few quid to get mot,d loved it but it only done abot 4 lamposts to the gallon and at the time could barely afford to run it and as it was my only car had to let it go. had a couple of sj suzukis that were ok, a toyota s*r* yuk hideous on fuel swapped it for a 92 disco which i love to bits, great fun and dsnt cost the earth to run

Series III petrol (ex AA) got me hooked. Traded it for a Rover SD1 and then a Sherpa van, went on to a
Jeep Cherokee, nice engine but crap underbody clearance and the brakes kept falling apart.
Then a brand new 300TDi which was the most unreliable car I've EVER had - dealer so embarassed they kept repairing it even out of warranty until I swapped that for a
Freelander TD4 TOTALLY RELIABLE, LOVELY MOTOR, drove it to Turkey and back 3 days each way; that went back at the end of the 3-year lease.
Next was a 200Tdi I bought off a mate who was emigrating,
traded that in for the TD5, which is the nicest of all but a bit pricey to repair.
Think I might go for rebuilding a S III diesel next and keeping it for ever...

At 17 a Vw polo coupe s used for rallying.
Still at 17 a 1987 defender 90 TD With 2" lift kit
At 18 i brought a 1989 defender 90 with a defender 200tdi engine transplant in. . Since having it tweaked engine and fitted some kit

well i had a fiesta 1.3 first then a corsa 1.8 that was fun now my 90

Fook I never knew ya could get a corsa or a fiesta 4x4????

A huge variety of Land Rovers starting with a BMC engined SWB that was 24 years ago the chassis I still have, then a LWB petrol with a Harvey Frost recovery crane, and from there it's all down hill to the V8 Disco I bought on Thursday.

1st 4x4 was a Toyota Townace, a totally gutless (but reliable) motor with so much bodyroll you needed sick bags at the ready, now on our 2nd Disco which feels like a F1 car compared to the towny.

Just been talking to a friend who has an R reg 300 TDI he reckone compared to a 200TDI Defender his Disco is gutless.

90 td dodgy engine
defender 200 tdi
discovery 200 tdi commercial heap of ****e

you plonker

how good mpg do you get from a 6.2 gmc v8 deisel
I have had a Td as my first 90 and agree it isnt the best but personly i love my 200tdi. 26mpg, running special tracks got winch and bumper weight on it so dont think its too bad. And fuel pump has been played with.
