woz 260 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 My car is coming upto 10 years and the farm landrover is a D reg and on its last legs, i was thinking about doing the scrap scheme on one of them and id like to get a 4 x 4 double cab but cant decide what sort. At the moment im thinking of a Mazda but im not too keen on the rounded shape on them they make the carry space look less. What do you lot drive, i need an off road vehicle and something that can tow a box and water trailers but can be an evrey day vehicle as well. if your 1987 d reg landrover is on its last legs now after 22 years this should tell you somthing about landrovers in general..yes they are perhaps a little more expensive to start with but you arnt going to see some piece of jap crew cab shite lasting anywere near 20 years..have a drive of the jap stuff before you buy..they are cheap plasticy horrible things.after all they are all a copy of landrover anyway.......also...alot of farmers have the support british farmers sticker in the window of there jap 4x4's...you should support british vehicles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Use this everyday..........this is my second puma, i have just changed my 07 SWB 90 xs for a 110 double cab, due to an unplanned increase in the number of dogs......... Love it, love it, love it........ The next door small holding has a 3.0 litre double cab (brand new as well) Toyota Hilux, He still pops round to gloat over the 110 ...........apparently his wife liked the leather seat in the Hilux Quote Link to post Share on other sites
