Right then...
My Navara popped a hose last week, and whilst I've been waiting for the part to arrive and get it fixed my father in law has very kindly leant me his old Landrover 90. It's not the first landy I've driven, although it is the first SWB I've driven for more than a couple of miles...
Anyway... I kind of like it...
I would never have considered one before in favour of a Jap pickup, when I was covering longer distances for work and needing to transport a fair bit of kit around. Also my truck was, until recently the "better" vehicle out of mine and the wife's, which is now not the case as she's leasing.
So, if I DID want to get one, for a similar budget to what I would spend on a replacement pickup (10k?) what is the model to go for, what do I avoid, and why?
I KNOW they're quirky and noisy and will never be as comfortable or refined or quick or smooth or reliable(?) as my Navara. But they're undeniably fun!
