If you or the old man are handy with the spanners I have a Freelander TD4 with a good engine and gearbox but knackered body up the field. Not far away in Hampshire.

oh how kind. BUT not handy neither is the OH (musician!). Could ask the very handy lad who works for me tomorrow though - he might know what to do. Can you message me your number?

That thing will be stuck if your gateways are not perfect and a zuki at that price will have half the mileage.

And it will fit through narrow gates etc. Actually it will go anywhere a normal 4x4 wont

Use your money to refurb your current freelander, at least you know its faults, £1500 quid would easily get you a new engine fitted, maybe you could get a diesel engine and gearbox fitted instead!!

I bought a 1999 td5 disco last year for £1500 with 12 month mot on it, best £1500 ever spent its only done 100k. I've put some mud terrain tyres on and now it will go literally anywhere!!! and with 7 seats it's good for taking everyone to the pub!!

The lads at the garage were very wrong then. My current one is 20 years old, £1200 off ebay and not a spot of rust on it. I'll admit the front wings usually go but that's no big deal.
Other than that they very rarely go wrong and even if they do it is usually less than £100 to fix it.
Had half a dozen or so now and no intention of looking anywhere else while they are available.

I buy them for about £1k off ebay, run them a few years until I either kill them or just get bored and get a different one. No servicing, don't even check the oil.

i bought an old daihatsu sportrak his summer 70,000 miles , no rust at all , cost £280 , just needed an mot , so there are good 4x4s are out there its just finding one , probaly go for a rav4 next time as its mostly road work and damp grass checking sheep , plenty about £400- 700

 

[Goatherderess]

Tomorrow's the day: max 2000 but would rather spend a bit less. So these are what I am going to check out - any obvious faults that anyone can see?? I'm sort of leaning to the Vitara....

avoid the diesel Vitara XL7 ,,clutches are a nightmare ,,spare parts are a fortune,,only good for 1.3 tn towing ,( I had a 2.7 petrol auto ) they are a money pit

So what did you get @Goatherderess
