If I was local to you, I'd take you for a spin! Maybe worth seeing if a friendly forum member is near you. Don't be put off by the naysayers, they can cruise well at speed, but a chip upgrade is very worthwhile. Buy on condition / service history and don't be put off by higher mileage cars.they are heavy beasts, so suspension components are more like regular service items, just don't buy the cheapest parts and you'll be ok. Remember that people tend to post about problems only! (Don't check my previous posts)!! |

Mine has a Tunit box, fitted by the previous owner, pulls great & not too slow! Remember it weighs the same as a small moon ! |

The engine is pretty much bomb proof but the gearbox is the weak link. A power tune or chip may put a bit of extra strain on the box.

thanks for the info and photos chaps, I'm looking for a 4x4 that will cover big distances with a relaxed drive and loads of comfort so they sound ideal,
