Hi All!
I'm mulling over the best option for a new toy: Disco or Freelander?!
I am looking for something that isn't going to see much off road use but will do some towing. Mainly a caravan (and a smallish one at that) so I know either will do the job.
The but, is also to tow a boat. Again quite light so towing itself isn't an issue but I want to use it on slipways for getting it in, and more importantly out, without getting the vehicle wet preferably nor making an arse of myself.
I have £2000 to £2500 to spend but the big issue is the running costs (fuel MPG) especially as it's also going to be used around town on a daily basis (not towing).
To make this a wee bitty harder, I have the chance of a very tidy 1999 Disco TD5 which has been looked after and has had a lot of new bits replaced, for less than £2500.
What to do?
