    Sounds good!

    But he did mention that they tend to rust underneath, especially if they've been used on farms with all the ammonia from animal dung

    The 3.2 is diesel. Petrol is either 3.0 or 3.5.

    If you're happy to compromise on the fuel, then Toyota Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi Shogun, Nissan Patrol/Pathfinder

    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?

    Might not be luxury, but it will go forever:

    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.

    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.

    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.

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