Which 4x4 for a Newb?
wadsy:
Thanks for the replies :)
Just measured my car porch (approx. 14.5' long, 75" high) and (if wikipedia dimesions are correct) a swb Pajero will fit, but a Disco won't :(
Any other options?
Cheers

Pajero's and economy aren't 2 words that usually go together- VERY luck to get 30mpg on a run..
also the 2.8's have problems with the O rings in the injector pump, causes stalling and problems starting - cheap part - but involves a strip down to cure it!
Disco's are a good choice but check the sills - bot floor and inner wings for rust
same for Range rovers
Series landies are cheap cheerful - great fun and easy to repair - if a little 'agricultural'
daihatsu 4tracks are good all rounders, as are diesel fronteras, but not so many 'off road' bits vailable for them - avoid the 2.0 litre sport as it drinks like a fiash - lol
suzuki vitara aint bad- small and cheap also pretty good in the sticky stuff
your choice at the end of the day!

i have a modded disco, but my daily drive is a nissan x trail, optional and selectable perm 4wd, excellent on the road, good in all weathers and towed a sankey through a very muddy field with a diesel tank in it on road tyres, crap ground clearance, but a great motor!
