Right, so im tempted now the clios dead...

My criteria is 3 front seats
Id prefer short wheel base but having 9 seats could be cool
I like the look of the swb pick ups and the countys but not the vans
Needs to have space for 3 mountain bikes and 3 people

I dont understand the pricing or engine sizes...

Guess i want the most powerful - most capable

Probably a 3 front seat, swb county would be best

My budget is up to £7k but i want to stay below that..

As far as mods i dont want anything mental, wheels, snorkel and maybe some bull bars

Also want sub 100k miles if possible and not a shitter

Help??

td5 is a bmw derived engine iirc, but has all the modern electronics so more to go wrong, heard that if you want to go through deep water you need to relocate the ecu..

Certainly a bit more refined.

Depends what you want to use it for really, daily miles? or something to take off road and fix easily yourself

I'm looking for a 300tdi engine, still not sure whether i get defender or discovery.

TD5 has put me off, more electrical problems and not as reliable or simple as the 300tdi

I've found a nice defender on ebay, Although colour is a bit marmite.

I want that blue one, minus a snorkel and the roll cage. Needs a v8 or something equally cool in.
