for that kind of budget it'll be a td6 or 4.4 petrol...

if you do the miles then a td6 would be more appropriate..

theres a great buyers guide in our wiki and of course loads of info on the forum.. ... - .- -.

Welcome... Minefield??? Why sir? Derv or Petrol is your option and HSE or Vogue in trim level Thumbs Up Obviously HSE is the lower...

Just look out for grarboxes at that age Whistle IMHO the derv option is better, certainly as they are ageing! Hear of more petrol engine failures and there are many many more diesels on the road so, that should speak volumes Thumbs Up

If buying one with the 3.0 tdv6 engine it's worth checking if the gearbox has been rebuilt if it has done over 85k miles as a common issue is for the torque converter to fail around 90k - mine did and was a £2200 rebuild exercise (cheaper than replacing it though - @£5k). Steve
