The doors fell of me defender in the rain!! Anyway, she says I wear some queer shirts so maybe the gaylander is the future.

Many thanks for the info! Appreciated. MPG & other costs is the stumbling block for us. Whatever we get will replace a very economical & cheap to run little car and will be used mostly for the short school / shopping / work trips etc. so while I want the Disco the Freelander actually is the...

Yeah but! I know a few guys who have 'traded up' and they are still paying to maintain the old one :D:p

Thems Insurance gimps need putting up against the wall an shootin when the revolution comes. (or just shoot them anyway) Some of my observations: When getting quotes do it midweek, you'll get cheaper quotes than at a weekend. (Weekends more people have the time, hence busier, busy...

Figured as much! :) Former Defender owner that is still trying to convince the 'accountant' that any other Landy is a good idea! (me Defender cost me a small fortune to buy, fortune to run, fortune to repair and a fortune to sell, so at the minute the 'accountant' prefers a Suzuki Jimny...

Evidently why it seems to tick the boxes for my 'accountant'! ;)

Ain't takin nuffink to heart. Just obligin folk what can't think out of the box! :D Thanks for the welcome's!

Thanks. Is a FL up to the job of dragging a wee boat n' trailer up slipways?? (no chopping of stuff here I'm afraid :( )

Cheers. Muchly in the first post: "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...

Thanks! Worth the extra running costs though? (say pitching a 2L Di FL at £1900 against a Disco for £2400)

I'm thinking it is but I need to justify it to the 'accountant' :o

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f20/hello-174489.html#post1769907 My humble apologies. (I was just after some reasonable input to my question but maybe I'd get more info out of Iran on nuclear weapons)

Thanks for the warm welcome and info! :focus:

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...
