I might be wrong but im pretty sure the army are replacing the snatch landrovers because they dont exactly stand up to IED's? Not compared to the Mastiff APC's that theyve brought in anyway. Which I dont know about you but I havnt seen too many mines around the midlands? :001_tt2:

My brain would tell me to buy the 130 cause they hold their price better,navaras are comfy and better mpg but i heard somewhere that Nissan were rebuilding bottom ends outside of warranty,that would concern me a bit also the navara is a plastikey ,landeys a bit more hardcore,rumour down here is that wetern power are fazing out their landey fleet and replacing them with rangers due to reliability issues with their landeys.

 

the bottom end was the D22 yd 25 engine built in spain it had alloy shims and wrong bolts. plus the oil did not get to no 4 block due to oil ring closing up so dried out. and they go bang big time mine filled the cab with steam and smoke not nice cost for new engine 5k. apart from that bloody good truck goes were i want to go. and pulls like a train good on fuel. if i knew engine had been fixed then navara over a landy. mine is having a tipper fitted when i have raised the dosh so will be more useful than it is now

end of the day drive what you want.. Drive a landy amd doubt you will be stuck off road, but but either will a fendt and the fendt is quieter than sat vibrating your bones in a landy from newcastle to london..

Navara or hilux any day for comfort and towing down the black stuff:001_tt2::thumbup1:
