Not sure which would make the better BOV

[sniper 55]

Another vote for the landcruiser, thats what I'd go for, tough as old boots.
We had a Mitsubishi Delica at one point (firms vehicle) it must have spent more time in the garage than on the road, brakes went every few months, the body roll was terrible (although it never turned over and we went some daft places with it). The air con was constantly having a wobbler and they couldn't seem to fix it.
Loads of room inside and felt ok on the motorway, if you didn't mind the wandering which you get used to I'm told.

Landcruser would be my choice also

Not a fan of the Patrol - personal experience on engine failure and gear box failure (may have just been a pup but has tainted my view of them)

Friend had a Shogun and liked it ,then sold it for a Land Cruiser said the Toyota was fantastic build quality.
Just need to look at how they hold their prices and how many are still going around.

OK, the deal has been done.
We finally bought a Land Rover Discovery 3, 2.7 TD, V6 HSE 5 door beastie.
Immaculate vehicle with warranty and is black, so that offers a partial stealth aspect.
Dealer is just having it full serviced and a new MOT stuck on then it will be delivered to my drive to growl at other vehicles passing by.

Thanks for all your input people.

Nope, you was right, sadly for the dealer I have a few close friends in the trade, all were unable to get over with me to see the car but came to see when we got it home.
Day 2 and we had a list of things that were not right, shockingly the MOT center seemed a bit blind on a couple of things.
The big issue was the torque converter, a job which would have cost me £ 2500 at least to get fixed.
The dealer honoured his warranty and paid for the whole of the wrongs that were written on the garage note from my friends workshop.
The dealer said we could run it into our choice of mechanic and he's pay up ( Did I mention I showed him my collection of swords lol)
He also said he'd pay for the diesel that we lost when the fuel pipe came off.

Well we got it back now and my buddy has given us a years warranty on all the work done.
He actually said the thing must have cost the dealer more than he made but the car is sorted and drives like a brand new motor, we noticed the difference !

So, I hope you are right about our future problems not happening but for now we're well pleased.
