Is it possible to roll it on the road? without hitting anything? Will it slide before it rolls?

Brill cheers! Elevated on the dip stick you mean? I've heard about the ECU check. I gather the XS has carpets - is checking the bulkhead so important on late plated vehicle like a 02-04? Is it possible to check these from underneath?

I'm in London, central-ish if anyone fancies sharing some info. I'm probably gonna start kicking tyres end Jan\Feb.

In your opinion is the AA check a decent check to have on a Landy 90 TD5? i.e do they know what they're doing, landy-wise? Or am I better looking for a local Land Rover mechanic? I'm looking for a low milage 2002+ TD5 XS 90.

There's a couple of 90 XSs for sale close to London, we'll go kick some tyres. I'm still not sure about reliability, but as my co-driver pointed out, we're not driving to Australia. Thanks Orm

Yeah, plan on me and the girlfriend doing an Advanced course and an Off Road course of some type. We went off road once in Panama but we don't talk about that :( Hmmm, not keen on Discoveries. I like the shape and presence of the Defender. It's like driving around in a big red telephone box...

Thanks! - I'm not intending to go off-roading, but owing to the geography of mexico, I may be wander off the roads sometimes. I'll be mainly calling in at some beaches, through rougher trails. We're dive instructors and we'd like to pick up work as we go, so I could do with a rugged vehicle for...

Good day to all, I've spent a fair amount of time reading various posts here and I think this has led to my problem. Me and my Girlfriend are travelling through Mexico next Sept with a view to staying there for a while. I need to get a vehicle to take us on our way in as much of a hassle-free...
