He had it for work Frank, plant fitter, out and about on sites etc. Its a diesel so not too sore on the fuel. Good tax benefits i think too if its through a business.

Have the chance of a 2007 model with very low mileage for a bargain price,but have been looking at the reviews and they go from one extreme to the other.Appreciate the feedback from everyone on basics,so keep them coming.

Never a truer word spoke .!!

 

Not a single patch on the Navara or Hi-Lux. Be sure you want a 4x4 then buy one of these .I've had them all and you wont go wrong with one of these .

Something not right with that motor Frank if thats all it was getting, they will never be as economical as a car but thats horrendous. No wonder you moved it on. Youd have been bankrupt training the doos

Good motors, the 2.5 td being the pick, looking for one myself. Navara's are problematic!

[chris h]

i had one 2002 model.mountain of problems with it including new engine and gearbox at 64000 miles.wouldnt have another.buy a landrover

Frank for a big 4x4 workhorse the mpg (IMO) is very good, around 30. I had a 2.0L Hyundai, would'nt pull sh** and averaged 25 ish. My transporter van only did around 25-30 too and cost a packet to service.

 

[Guest frank dooman]

get  yourself a good we van thats the berries peugeot partner or the likes cant go wrong vince

Chris its a fact that Mitsubishi are the most reliable motors and Land rover the least! My days of Landies (except classics) are well gone. A 2.5td Discovery blown engine at 17 months old and 30,000 miles, cost £5000 for new lump and landrover contributed nowt!!

Good vans Frank, have a PP now got it dirt cheap, does 45 mpg and goes well, but bit small for me.

 

 

[Guest frank dooman]

mine was alot less than that mick hard to say exactly how much i didnt drive it but i did pay the feuel bill and it jumped right out at me

[Guest mick bowler]

Frank was  it the 1.9 d (non-turbo)? They are brutal, mine is the 2.0 hdi. They reckon the new 1.6 hdi does 50+ mpg.
