I personally fail to see how a disco is any different to a shogun in terms of repairs for a home mechanic?

All we seem to find is landy owners slate shoguns and vice versa, neither truck seems to be perfect but seen to have corrosion issues?

Ha ha, No we haven't looked at anything yet, missus uses her sisters truck when needed but she wants to get something in the new year as she wants to compete more. Going to look at a 2.8 manual lwb shogun sun belongs to a mates dad done 60k.

Saying what?

Still weighing up a shogun/Pajero. If I thought we could buy a reliable p38 I'd consider it, I find it bizarre though as when I purchased mine 6years ago everybody said I shouldn't have and should have bought a mitsubishi or a Toyota. I was always told to avoid the 4.6 so that said would a 2.5...

What's out there?

Genuine reluctant sale, selling the missus car (selling due to needing a 4x4 to tow horse trailer). Renault Clio World series edition, 1.2 16v turbo (cheap to run, returns 45mpg). Two owners from new, full Renault main dealer service history ( next service due october and will be serviced if...

To be honest me and the missus have been talking and she doesn't want to spend all the budget on purchasing the vehicle just for it to sit there and be used on the occasional weekend. Is it both 2.5 and 2.8 shoguns that suffer with heads? We haven't ruled out a discovery just not keen on the...

Are you saying a Japanese 4x4 is more expensive to maintain than a landrover? I wouldn't have thought that there would be much in it to be honest? I'd have also thought over time a Japanese vehicle would be more reliable therefore in the long run less expensive?

I'm not convinced about a p38 as I had one and every one on here said I should have avoided it and they were right, my osf air bad leaked so vehicle crept over night, the auto box failed and the once it random overheated on the motorway and was fine after? I'm concerned that aa much as I'd...

Also can anyone advise me on the cost of tax for a 3.2 DID.... Government website says £285 a year bases on one registered after March 2001 however auto trader says £485 a year on the advert for the vehicle?

Cheers for reply, I've been reading about the 3.2 Did seems camshaft guides and sensors on the diesel pump are common issues? I'm not wondering as we only want a manual 4x4 how difficult some of these will be. As I said I'm a mechanic and I do clutches regularly however I wouldn't like to be...

What's people's opinions on the swb mitsubishi shogun or pajero? I had a lwb 2500 few years ago and people said I should have got a 2800. What's the newer 3.2 DiD like? I asked years ago on here when I wanted to replace my troublesome p38 and people said if you wanted a reliable 4x4 I should...

Thanks for the responses guys, she has all the necessary licenses has been towing for 5years. Funny enough her sister is looking to sell her 2000 plate Grand Jeep Cherokee, 4.7 V8 auto on lpg for £1000. Unfortunately she isnt selling it for another 12months but they had the gas fitted...

ahh ok cheers i just thought from a image point of view they were a bit less agricultural looking compared to a disco.

would i be right in saying Defenders just bolt together....as in all the body pannels can be removed with ease? Im guessing been as no one has mentioned a Freelander they are not worth looking at?

Defenders do seem to hold there money even a old 1990 can be around 5k....would we find one in budget with a TD5 engine or better looking for a 200/300 TDI? Also forgot to mention she sometimes takes her retired parents with her so we would be looking to fit forward facing rear seats ive seen...

I agree a auto would be great but my P38 had a autobox fail and was a nightmare, couldnt tow it home either.

Firstly sorry if wrong section. So my partner has a 16 hand horse that she competes occasionally on weekends but would like to make it more regular. At the moment she borrows her friends 2000 plate LandRover Discovery TD5 or her sisters Grand cherokee to tow him in her 1000kg ifor williams...
