Early X5?

They're hovering around the £5-6k mark 2006 Mercedes CLS
1991 Retro-style Mini
But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

i would love a 4.8 lemans x5 around a 06 plate but thats out of budget
maybe have a look at them

You could get a top notch Volvo XC70 very impressive piece of kit  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
Gone Audi A5 2.7TDI
Gone Discovery 3 HSE
Gone Mercedes CLK
Gone Range Rover 2.5 DSE

So whats wrong with using your FFRR….. instead of going to the trouble and spending so many ££££'s on someone else's possible bucket ...

it should be away very soon . . .

Nissan Patrol/Toyota Landcruiser/Mitsubishi Shogun will all serve you well. Paul

a few people have said about a ford ranger ?

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee which i quite liked! 2004 CRD, paid around £4k for it.  Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

thanks for suggestion ill have a look.Its just something for the winter then it can go, i also looked at impreza's but there crap inside

The impreza is not as good in snow and such like as you'd think, the forester is the one for that

But thirsty as well really for their size

im still on the hunt for something before the snow arrives and the prices go mental
dont laught to much but what do you think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-54-Mitsubis...43aa047048

It's very tiny. Like a jimny, only smaller...  Graham

think its like a freelander size ?

Far bigger than a Suzuki jimny but not as big as a Freelander.
Good solid cars, well protected against corrosion, my wife had two of them.
Only problems with them the throttle body gums up at abot 70-80k due to the permanent egr system fitted. They tend to idle roughly and run badly.
Two solutions, walnut shell clean the throttle body or replace with a re-manufactured unit at £300, which is the better solution as you get a new stepper motor and throttle position sensor included.
The other problem is the brake pipes corrode undernearth across the back.
I maintained my wifes for years and only replaced the throttle bodies and the brake discs.

Well, I think "far bigger" is stretching it a bit...

Jimny is 3645mm / 1600mm
Pinin is 3735mm / 1695mm

So it IS bigger than a Jimny, by 90mm in length and 95mm in width.

I'd go for the Full Fat Shogun, personally. Graham
