Slightly off topic - they are heavy on juice.

muddyjames:
my mate has one and he drives his like it is stolen and he reckons he gets 36mpg. I m happy with that as that is what my rover does at the moment all be it slightly cheaper as petrol is cheaper than diesel. If I drive one like it isnt stolen it mightget a bit better mpg! I hope!!

discowoman:
speaking to someone in the trade - CAT D's are usually newish vehicles where they have the choice of repair/replace - so most people opt for the replace (as I would).. cat D dont need a VIC check, and are usually panel damage, so shouldnt be any worries..
easy guide to accident damage
CAT  D - No VIC needed usually very minor damage
CAT C - Vic needed - moderate to major damage
CAT B - PARTS ONLY - vehicle CANNOT be put back on the road
CAT A _ CRUSHED

Disco Matt:
Does the Ranger have a proper chassis or is it monocoque? It seems that the latter is more prone to weird handling and alignment problems after rebuilding while the separate chassis seems to survive impacts better.

Definitely get it checked out, but providing the alignment is ok (so the chassis isn't bent or twisted) then it shouldn't be a problem.
