Dare not comment on tax:p Found this one very local to me but priced high and no tow bar so probably a no go but will view to give me an idea of a decent model - looks in good nick. Discovery TD5 Pics will only display in Internet Explorer. What are the key things to look out for when viewing...

Thanks for the honest info. I always believe that enen if you need a certain vehicle (i.e. I need a decent 4x4 to tow a boat around) you have to want it! Been looking at the options i.e. Japanese models etc. but I don't really like them. When I look at a decent Land Rover Disco I think its...

Sorry thebiglad but have to admit I cheated;) Looked through your previous posts which I have to say were interesting reading. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge in this area so let me ask you is it worth going out and spending £6k? I know you will point out it is dependent on what you are...

£2,200?

Thanks again Redhand but might walk away from this one. He let slip in his most recent email that the boat he tows about is 2 tons. He gave the impression of doing a lot of mileage when towing this load. I think I will have another look around for one a little less punished.

Compelling and well thought out argument Yella - I now realise the error of my ways:rolleyes: Anyway thanks everyone else - if someone could offer any advice on what to look for with around £6k would be grateful. Narrowed it down to something like a Disco 2.5 Diesel TDI Auto so recovering boat...

Hi guys, New to the forum and will probably get flamed for this but wanted some advice :D I am looking to buy a 4x4 for towing and launching a boat which is about a ton. Was looking into a Land Rover Discovery as this could do the job easily and I love the look and feel of it however a lot of...

Hi all, Been reading the forum for a few days now and thought it was about time to introduce my self - Simon. I am looking into buying a Land Rover Discovery for towing and launching of a boat on the South Coast and have already read many helpful threads and hint and tips. The tax implications...
