oh a poll is at the top tabs at each section i.e discovery / range rover under new poll tab

Vauxhalls are pritty poor standard, my disco had to recover a couple of them and it only had some very worn muds on, and a blown diff :'( , and they had some rubbish recovery point on the front that was more of a tie down hook than a recovery point

Well you do need the correct tyres, and its not much to pop a heavy duty recovery hook on and a lift :wink:
Diff go on all sorts of cars when off road :wink:
My Fronty has not had it particualy easy and its still going strong, never caused me to miss a days work, still sits happily at just a tad over 70 on the motorway :wink:
A bit of thought and you can have a cheap reliable and comffy car.
They aint never going to be as good off road as some cars, as they dont have lockers etc but they can do a lot more than is credited to them after a minimal bit of fettling and cost.
Oh and the A serise have great under body protection :cool:
The 2.2 petrol can be a bit iffy though :P
And the heater work most times :lol: :lol: :lol:

What do you mean land rovers aren't reliable? You can rely on them to break down when you need them most! That's why we've got 3, at least ONE of them should be in working order when I go into labour! Otherwise it's going to be a long way for RRB to push me in a wheelbarrrow! :shock:

Having a 90 for only six months was more than enough for me, unreliable, uncomfortable, poor heater, noisy and draughty. I now have a SWB 3.0 V6 LPG Shogun and it's lovely. OK it may not be as capable off road as the 90 but I'm willing to put up with that for some comfort and reliability :D :D :D
Tommo:
er yeah but a 90 isnt meant to be comfortable. its here to get you there.
i was gonna get a nissan patrol, quite reliable but when stuff breaks its expensive. a starter motor was about £630, no doubt a pattern one would be available cheaper. a guy down the road has one and when the head gasket went he had the cam belt done as well and it cost him over £1000!!!
