very reliable & fair on the diesel, like any off road use ,its down to the tyres , Although not a green laner, it quite adequate for bridal paths , rough stoney roads & of course fields etc with the 2.2 dci, loads of room too...the back box get in the way, take it off & have a straight thru pipe placed on it gives 2"+ more at the back.. with a few spacers it will lift 2" on the body too....giving more space underneath, if needed .
