Looking for a wee bit of help.   Currently have the Jimny and the wife's A class and have decided that I need something bigger for lugging the 3 mountain bikes, the wife, child and dog around in.

My car is mainly used for leisure, ie carrying the bikes and gets used for trailering all sorts of diy stuff around. I do also enjoy the odd greenlane

My budget is £5000.

I have recently been to see a few Discos but have been put off by the bodywork.   I would dearly love a Disco as I think they are tremendous vehicles. My problem is that I am not too mechanically minded and would need the local garage to sort any probs.

I have also thought about a diesel cherokee but know nothing about them.

I saw a 2.2Dti Frontera at the weekend which was in excellent nick.

As you can tell, I am in a quandry?

Can anyone give me some advice as to what may suit my needs??

Jesus, for 5 grand you would get a lovely disco!

Mmmm, I have so far looked at 3 around that price....all had mileage in excess of 100k and all 3 had rust holes in the rear panel, just where the mudflaps sit..........looking at the frontera at the weekend, it was unmarked and only had 60k on it..........any cherokees I see at this price seem to be younger and have lower mileages.......

I bought my disco for £2300 and have just found some rust in the rear floor (grrrr) but even so everything else is in really good nic. It is the es model too which has the leather seats, air con etc etc and its a 300tdi on an m plate. For 5k you must be able to find a fab disco. You just need to look until you find the right one.

roscoe:
Lots of support for the Disco then! Any opinions on the Cherokee or Frontera or anything else that may fit the bill?
