90sam:
yerrr i think im going to get a discovery but need to check out the insrance! I need to be able to drive long distances in it so rules out a suzuki and a series!
muddymesser:
dont forget anything over 1.6 you'll get hammered on insurence
Disco Matt:
Insurance will drop dramatically after the first year or so, assuming you manage to avoid becoming a statistic. You might find it helps to join the owners' club too - sometimes they can get you a better deal.
90sam:
Im trying to avoid being a statistic by getting a disco! Otherwise i will have the 1.8 focus! Im already in a owners club and i think some specialist landy insurance will see me through haha! if its cheaper than the focus to insure then i will be gettign a disco

easier to insure than a land rover
easier to modify
less need to fix than on a land rover :lol:

ahh im not getitng into this debate!!! :lol: i was purely trying to be constructive.
an SJ is deffo easyer to modify on a budget, your right there. ive never had one so i couldnt comment on reliability, but it cant be any worse than a mis treated land rover (like mine!)
not sure what you mean by easyer to insure. im only 18 (no NCB) and my 90 truck cab is £1800 fully comp. and its on a Q plate. i just rang my one stop insurance shop who sorted it. so im not sure what its like if you go to direct line etc.
and lets not forget that an SJ is waay cheaper to buy in the first place. and if you trash it (most likely rolled :lol: ) then another one is cheap enough.
all said though im a land rover guy, and it sounds weird but i cant say i want anything else 4x4 wise. its not snobbery or jealousy, its just a certain brittishness in me that makes me able to love somthing that is often so flawed.
