Yes, thanks chaps. All very good points. I've indeed got some thinking to do. Ta Richard

Just wanted to check in. I've not made a purchase yet, but I've been to a local Land Rover Specialist to have a look and I purchased a famous Land Rover Mag today too ;-) .........still hankering after a Defender though :-//

Cheers. :-) that's good to hear :-)) I'll go and have a look and see if I can get a test drive of both. Let you all know how I get on ;-) Ta

Thanks gemsdad

Ahhh yes I can see what you're saying :-/ I have a feeling. Freelander would actually do the job and suit my needs. I can't get the industrially beautiful Defender out of my mind though :-( I do love well built things :-/ Thanks Richard

I was going to have a trip over to T and T Motors. Do you have a recommended dealer to visit? Ta Richard

Oh right :-/ that's not good :-(( Ahhh right I see so it's down to a different body and a bit nicer/comfier inside? Ok, well I better go and have a drive of both models to help me choose but If that's the only/main difference maybe the Discovery would be a better bet. ;-) Thanks again Richard

Lol, will do!

Thanks everyone. Lol, Thor I think that could be the main point ;-) My budget is around the £4000 area. Yes, I think a dealer bought vehicle might be the way to go, I've found a local (4miles away) family run Land Rover specialist so I'll probably pop over to see them for a chat/look/test...

Cheers, yes I have a feeling that any of the models/displacements will more than do the towing job easily. :-) I'm just not sure which model will suit my needs best :-/ Hmmmm I have a feeling I better go drive one or two to find out. Ta

Hi All I currently own a little Suzuki Jimny, I do like it to be fair :-/ but I have now bought a classic Eriba Caravan and although it is very light (as caravans go) the Jimny struggles with it up long steep inclines on the motorway or if trying to pull out quickly at junctions. So I'm...

Hi All Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Currently I do not own a Land Rover :-( I have a Suzuki Jimny (which I do like to be fair), but I've just bought a lightweight caravan and although the Jimny will tow it, it is just too sluggish up long inclines and also setting off on steep hills is...
