i know its been asked before but what motor should i get

[Stu]

The times coming when i think my corsa is gunna give up the ghost, all these bumpy forest tracks arnt doing it any good so im defenatly thinking about getting a 4 x 4

 

so the queston is what do you lot think are good motors i know everybodys got there preference but it would be good to get some good and bad points like miles per gallon etc as i dont want to buy a mony eater. im thinking about either spending 4-5k or do you think it would be worth putting that 4k towards finance and getting a newer motor maybe with a garentee for a year or two?

 

 

i was thinking along the lines of a disco but have heard a few bad things

 

so thoughts on

 

ford rangers

 

nissan navaras

 

izuzu rodeo

 

and any others people have experince with

 

cheers guys

Before it gives up the ghost, try the corsa belly slide challenge.

 

I managed 38' with all four wheels of the ground on a slight muddy downhill forestry track.

Landy 110 if you need pickup space, or 90 if you want it small and compact(ish)

Forget the rest, buy the best- gotta be a landy 90 for your situation, unless you need load space then the 110:thumbup1: 4-5k will get you a decent landy

although this thread has potential for being another one of 'those' threads

[Stereo]

Isuzu or Toyota would be my recomendation. I love Landies but I've had about 6 and can never quite bring myself to buy another.

 

I like the old shape Isuzu king cab, good sturdy and capable motor. Probably run on veg oil as well.

[Brushcutter]

Shogan?

Trooper?

The nissan version of those

 

i've had 2 navaras both around 30mpg both with dam good service from Nissan. Nissan is about 3 miles from my house which is why very convient for service and spares.

 

Wouldn't have another Toyota after i had a falling out in the service department.

 

Best advice is if you live next door to land rover and dont mind the issues that come with one then get a landy. If you live next to ford get a ranger. Really they're all much of a muchness anyway.
