Ok guys, help needed as I'm going around in circles!! I do 15000 miles a year, have a really good disco tdi which does everything, green laneing, pay & play, daily commute and genral work horse - just the job!!

I have been looking at changing though, I have saved up around 9k so it's a choice between a defender 110td5 or a 90tdi for fun with a car too. I do have a heavy foot so the car appeals but can't be without a landy.

What do you guys do, car and landy or just 1 nice 110?

I'd say get the 200 or 300tdi in a 90 perfect play toy or buy a V8

And then get a car for daily use? A 90 just isn't pactical for 3 to 4 people and a springer spaniel!! Any idea of second vehical insurance costs? Currently paying £355 for disco, guess defenders are slightly more (I'm 28)

£355 for a disco at 28! holy jebus !, I was paying £600 at 34 years old with over 13 years no claims for a 200 tdi disco, been told that the area I live in bb5 is one of the worst areas for claims along with Bradford surprise surprise.
