I have a dilema

(1/3) > >>

Landyman:
Right guys I could do with some helphere.
I have owned for the last 18 months a 110 County 300TDi defender. It has loads of add on bits bolted to it and I love it to bits been on a few adventures with it
in Wales took it to Cornwall this year.
But I have just bought an accident damaged X reg TD5 Discovery 2 that I have repaired and put a winch bumper on the front and a set of BFG muds on it.. I bought this to sell it on but my dilemma is this. I can only afford to keep one vehicle which one should it be? The wife really likes the Disco and it's definitely a lot more refined and those long runs to Wales would be far smoother in the Disco but its just not got the character of the Defender.
Which one should I keep? :-k

M0EAF:
THE DEFENDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hi Chap

Really its all down to your personal preference......

However,
Earlier this year, around April time , I picked up an 'R' plate 3 door 300 tdi Disco to use as a 'runaround' - run me and 'stuff' into work, stuff to the tip, bit of laning etc, so I didn't end up trashing my 90 Tomb Raider.
Last year, the Tomber did around 2000 miles between MoT's - it probably hasn't done 500 this year, while the ol' clunker Disco has done over 4500 since April.
The disco does virtually everthing i ask of it - returns a reasonable mpg, is 'roomier' than the 90, will carry 4 - 5 people in reasonable comfort, which the 90 certainly couldn't do.

Like I said, its your choice, but i'm sticking with the disco - as long as it gets through the Mot on Wednesday!

HTH

JIMBOBLY:
it would have to be the defender i think mate,you will always be able to get cheap bits for it,easier to work on,not so much electronic rubbish you dont realy need,and in my opinion,if serviced properly,more reliable

cooper956:
