Be aware that im sure the 2.9 CRTD 5d Auto (23 Mar 2006 - 31 May 2007) are in the £500 a year road tax bracket  Anything before that is about £300

Yes this is definitely something I'm trying to dodge

That's definitely a good head's up mine was registered December 2005 costs £24.00 per month DD for tax.Incidentally there is a plusher version of the Terracan that has leather , rear DVD etc can't think what it's badged as .

Second point: Mercedes, then  Audi and BMW.

I'm surprised no JLR products make your top 3. Although I suppose that's down to how (un)common they are, comparatively speaking to the likes of the 1 series/A-Class/A3

Discoveries and Freelanders are weed common cars. Early Disco3 and Range Rover Sports had problems with the electronic handbrake(this is true of most electronic handbrakes) but LR did at least fit an effective manual release. But nothing stands out as a common fault, or that we saw them all the time. Unlike BMW's shockingly bad small diesels for example.

I'll be honest, out of my experience of bmws (2 cars) I've found the failure rate to be 100%

Is it the ssangyong rexton? I can't stand the look of them unfortunately!

[2boxerdogs]

No not the Ssangyong, they are awful things apparently spares are a nightmare to source, it is a Hyundai Terracan LTD got a few extra toys.

Ohh no our friends who just bought a sorento just called to say it's broken down, won't start. I think Ive jinxed it

Panic over the rac man had to tell her it was out of park and hence wouldn't start haha.

I wouldn't mind a Mercedes or BMW but vary hard to find manual gearbox and I swore never to own a Audi again after my a6

Where,s Lord Opti when you need him.

A lad at work bought a VW Toerag to tow his wife's horse box. He went for the older full fat V10 5 litre version!  . It's not as bad on fuel as you might think.

And accept that 2 pedals are the future  ..... the vehicles you're  thinking of aren't  exactly sports cars.

Mine is half that engine and still pulls like a train

The Touareg R5 TDi also came with a manual box  The R5:s camshaft is gear driven which is a reliable soluton.
The first gen Touareg is one of the few VAG cars I like

It's pretty much given that at some point th'orse will stand on his left foot when least expected

I'll be lucky if that's all I get, damn things are dangerous at both ends and crafty in the middle!!

Just found a ideal one in Yorkshire, cud visit family at the same time but dvla are showing it's not been taxed on 3 years and it's still done 1000miles in 3 years. Pretty odd and it's cheaper than most. Probably not worth the risk

That's probably quite normal for parts of rural Yorkshire..  (But then there are still parts you could live your entire life and never see an ANPR camera, much less a police car)
