Looking for advice on my next vehicle with off-road capability

Hilux Surf might fit the bill- more info here:

Avoid the 2.4 TD engine unless the head's been replaced already.
I'm looking at Delica's as I might need a 4WD 8 seater for accessing a remote property. I've seen Delicas offroading and they go well- but as you state they have had bad publicity recently due to one fatal crash on a motorway.

I've just been reading the reports on that crash (well, what passes for journalism on The Sun website - they illustrated it with a photo of the wrong Delica methinks...). Look at it this way, the AC Cobra and Porsche 911 are both known to have a habit of spitting unwary drivers into the scenery with often fatal results. I don't see many people demanding they be banned.
You need a Discovery. If you can look beyond the styling it will do everything you need in considerable comfort. Just ask yourself at what point "dated" becomes "classic"? I like the fact that it has clearly defined components rather than the featureless "blob" design of a lot of new cars.
The only Allegro bits are the doorhandles, and they've not given me any trouble at all. LR only took the bits they could use from the corporate parts bin!
boss:
the sun is a glorified comic!
as for discos looks i think they look good if there ligted with big tyres and a hd bumper.
another alternative is a disco2, we have one and its very nice nice interior trim(es prem) and a rugged off roader on the outside!
