My old man was looking for 4x4's to replace my 110 on the work fleet and the only vehicle that could legally pull as much as the fender was a land cruiser and they are that bad that they come factory fitted with a second start button
That's the same story with me, my old man hates the defender. And now he's saying I told you so.
He want me to get a jap truck, but he has had nothing but problems with his navara d22, but it hasn't been smooth sailing with the defender either I suppose.
Think I might look into a 110 or 127 then, take one of the rear seats out make a shelf to put my drills in and things then use the back for other stuff.
There was a build thread on here at some point I think we're someone had done that, but I can't find it.
Thanks for all your input lads
from personal experience
stay away from the mitsy L200 due to crank bearing problems ( if yer towing a lot )
dont bother with the navara coz theyre fekkin heckspensive to fix and when they go wrong they go wrong royally
and as for the ranger the engine is basically a turboed transit banana engine but with an alloy block n head ( verry prone to warping and overheating ) and if you manage to find a good un yer gonna need decent seats as the original ones are hard as fook and will cripple anyone over the age of 30 on long trips ( on a good note though mondeo seats fit them pretty well )

oi jc,answer ya pm's will ya.![]()
So pretty much there is no such thing as a good 4x4/truck/pickup apart from a land rover but they're still unreliable and uncomfortable. If I had the money I would buy an amarok but I don't have £19K to spare.
Probably be better off getting a 7.5 ton truck JMHO

Are you on drugs? Get a 110 hardtop van. Two seats-one cubby box/tray -maybe seat if you get an old one and jobs a goodun. No rear seats. Cos its a van. Ie space for drills and **** in the back.
No not on drugs. I clearly stated in an earlier post that I wanted a twin cab, with extra seats.
