Before I joined this Forum I have always liked the P38 Range Rover and thought I would look more seriously into getting one.
So I bought the Land Rover Monthly magazine because they had a full review of the diesel version.
But the amount of problems etc they said it could or will get kind of put me off.
Now I have since done a lot more research around this Forum and other sites online into Land Rover/Range Rover's.
However I am not a fan of diesels and the only other choice is a V8 or the 2.5 petrol unit which looks like something out of the last century.

What I would like to do is get into some off roading, I don't mean the real serious stuff like having a Bowler but doing Tyro's or the next level up (can't remember what it's called).

I have a couple of friends who have Land Rover's and they keep saying get one.
But to be honest they are really basic inside, no creature comforts which I have come to enjoy and appreciate.

I do less than a thousand miles a year in my own car, so having a 4x4 is no problem to me.
If I travel any further than where I live, I go by train.

But everyone has said if you want to do some off roading get yourself a Land Rover of some sort because they are the best at it.
Then if I want to belong to a Land Rover Club it has to have all Land Rover bits and so it goes on.
I like one thing, reliabilty, if it isn't, it gets sold.

I love cars, lorries, buses, bikes in fact anything with an engine in including lawn mowers....lol
My late Father was real petrol head, hated diesels hence my dislike of them.

Hence I thought is there any other petrol engine choice for them?

If I am correct the very first Rover V8 wasn't an english engine, it was from Buick. :)

hiya, if it's creature comforts you want, then have a look for a discovery, they basically do all that a defender will, but with all goodies, you can get disco 2's at a very resonable price now, especially the v8, as the diesel is more sought after, maybe something to consider, good luck with it, martyn:) oh p.s think it was originally a reject from chrysler;)

I do like my creature comforts, power steering, electic windows, a decent heater and so on.....lol

A Disco 2?
Yes, that is something to think about.
Okay I will look into one of those then, might even sell my car and just keep the one vehicle.
Thank you Martyn. :)
