Hi,
First post as am new to the forum.
Well, here goes... We have 4 kids between us (you know how families collect after divorces), and I'm looking for a 6/7 seater vehicle for the family. I never thought of a landy before, but have been advised they are a good choice. So I have two questions as I dont want to ask the obvious what shall I get??!!?
First, the car will be used for school runs (about 3 miles each way), but also for more general use, not many long journeys I might add. We have about £2k absolute max to spend. So, would a petrol or diesel be better, and should I steer clear of a V8 or are they mor reliable. We're also looking at LPG converted discos or potnetially the option of making/using bio-diesel, although I did read on yahoo answers (I KNOW!! I KNOW!!) somewhere that discos and bio-fuel dont work.
Second question (notice how I've phrased 3 questions in 1 above)... Is there anything illegal about using booster seats for children in the rear where there are the two side-facing seats?
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to becoming more of a member on here
Kind regards and many thanks in advance
