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 itComment

or old copies of Bild ?Originally posted by Hobosapien View PostThey expect the 'buyer' (i.e. leasee
) to wrap the interior like is popular with the exterior, so just offer a base plastic.
Suggest you go for the black Jaguar spots rather than the ginger option.

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.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Been following the thread, and many thanks for the replies. But the snag is it seems my requirements are somewhat conflictingOriginally posted by WTFH View Postso, 11 days after the first post and the OP still hasn't come back with his requirements.

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.Comment

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?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
