DodgyRog Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The wifes thinking about changing the car again later in the year and although a Yellow Lexus IS Sport is still at the top of her list, I have mentioned that if we are looking to get a couple of Springer Spaniels next year it might be an idea to get an Estate or 4x4 Jen's not really up for an Estate, but quite fancies a 4x4 So the budget is going to be around £5k with a trade in needed, so the Land Rover falls into the category, I am thinking if we go for a 4x4 it needs to be a Diesel. From memory, I think I remember there being a fair few issues with the Land Rovers I am just looking for some advice on them really, as I have no knowledge at all on them There are a couple of other option as well, Toyota Rav 4, Nissan X-Trail or one of the Suzuki range All will need to be 4 doors versions Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Simple one this. DON'T Look how many repair panels are for sale on Ebay, and consider why this may be RAV4 are excellent, loads of farmers round here drive them, and do terrible things both to and in them, yet you never see one broken down.

DodgyRog Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 ^Thanks guys^ Enough said, I guess that why they are cheap in comparison to the Rav's as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Freelander = load of junk, get a Rav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Do you want me to tell you about my colleagues twin head gasket failure on his Freelander? This was back in 2003 but still. I'd get the Rav4 as well mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shima60 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 If i were going to get anything i would get a landcruiser. The rav just isnt built the same. Although i do a lot of offroading and see a lot of 4x4's break and bend mine included. Rav's i've never seen along with freelanders out in the mud and there is a reason for that. Then again looking at just the odd but of a field with the dogs anything with 4wd should do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
