what offroader should i get next
LiftedDisco:
Nissan Patrol...
I will confess to being wedded to LR, but understand that others have opinions too!!! [-X
Seriously - I have also had a LWB patrol which went on forever with just oil and diesel, also had an old slab sided white LWB that we sold with abourt 210k on it to a chap who was going to run it on heating oil (apparently you add old engine oil to give it a bit of lubrication... :shock:)
They also do a very capable SWB version but I think that they are fairly rare... If you want a bit of work, there is this on e-blag... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Damaged-Nissan-Patrol-SWB-Turbo-Diesel-99-S_W0QQitemZ190213196401QQihZ009QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Might be worth an offer as the rest of it appears to be OK, low miles etc...
Hope these ramblings help

How about a back door Land Rover?
I don't know much about them but some of the stuff TATA make looks pretty decent.

How very true!
Have you thought of the Frontera? (i know im going to get shot down here) The later ones have almost exactly the same suspension set up as your Maverick, the diesel engines are pretty reliable and economical and they are a comfortable too! Due to the bad press they so wrongly get they can be picked up quite cheap!
If you wanted a more robust off roader though i would choose something along the lines of a Toyota, possibly a Landcruiser ;)

ps, No im not anti Landrover either :lol: :lol:
kizz81:
yes i have to agree that fronteras are certainly a cheap buy just look at any where who sells them, just a shame when they break they cost a bomb
suzukis seem cheap to fix, am i right?

A Frontera is not realy any different in price to fix than any other motor :lol: :lol:
Some dealer ony parts can be a bit pricey but there are a lot more pattern parts out there now bringing the price right down, also a lot of parts are interchangable with other model cars!
Ebay is a source of used parts too, and if you have a problem that you cant work out there are dedicated forums out there http://fronteratech.freeforums.org/index.php plus the site i set up http://muddyfronteras.informe.com/index.php
