Which one should I buy?

(1/4) > >>

sulley:
I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

I am looking to buy my first Land Rover.  have a choice of a 110 or a Disco.

Both priced the same(ish) (around £2500)

Insurance for the 110 is £892 and the Disco is £1062. (Only priced so high cos I smashed me car up!)

So which should I go for?

I proabably won't do much, if any off roading. I would like to do up the 110 into a double cab, Tomb Raider style motor.

I just can't make up my mind. Please help...........

Sharpshooter:
I have both, and they both have pos and negs.

The 110 is far better off road, and everyone looks at it when you go out. But it isnt best for taking the missus out for a meal ect.

The Disco on the other hand, handles better on the road, but isnt as much fun.

Hope this helps.

By the way, try lots of insurance companies, i have my 110 on Classic ins £200 a year.

I'm guessing th 110 aint a TDI for that money, if it is its probably knackered (or a bllody bargain), Disco is more comfy but you won't get the full on landy experience, drafts, nutters waving at you for no reason, wet feet, huge smile every time you see it on the drive, that sort of thing.  Your choice but be careful with the 110 as it is cheap unless it is old in which case unless its a V8 the engine will be rubbish.

The TD is renowned as a VERY BRITTLE ENGINE, i wouldn't touch it with a long pole, but some folks have had no bother with them and got high nay insane mileages out of them, they are brittle and if abused they break terminally.  Your choice.  No leaks is b******s, all landys leak.  You need the s/h to check its been loved.
