      Bought an XC90 a few months, very nice inside and out. Spacious and a nice drive.

      I’ve got one of the basic models but I wasn’t after a larger engine so it works for me.

      Definitely recommend it

        Suggest you go for the black Jaguar spots rather than the ginger option.
        or old copies of Bild ?

          so, 11 days after the first post and the OP still hasn't come back with his requirements.

          He's going to have trouble making a decision if he doesn't know what he needs.

            Been following the thread, and many thanks for the replies. But the snag is it seems my requirements are somewhat conflicting

            I want a big kick-ass reliable preferably petrol SUV like a Rangerover, suitable for rural use, but I don't want to pay more than about £10K max

            Although I'm happy to buy a used vehicle, possibly with a high mileage, a fair amount of reliability is a must

            My existing Rangerover Vogue has been plagued with problems in an electronic board called the ECU or (depending on who I talk to) the Body Control Unit. Rangerover, in their wisdom, placed this low down over a wheel arch, and every time it gets damp it starts playing up. A couple of garages say there's very little if anything that can be done to remedy this. It was just bad design.

              So you want a Land Rover of some sort for under £10k and also want reliability.

              How about spending £10k on a brand new Land Rover of some sort, with a full warranty and no MOT to worry about. Yep, lease one for about £300-£400/month over 2 or 3 years.
              Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                I got a Hyundai Santa Fe 7 seat Wiggins Edition about a year ago which I'm very happy with...except for the fuel consumption.

                  Might not be luxury, but it will go forever:

                      And in Africa.

                      Land Cruisers are the main vehicles used by safari lodges, closely followed by LandRovers. I guess the issue is with the luxury side of it.

                      Will you be towing anything? Horsebox, boat, etc?
