If your off road a fair bit keep it, if not get rid.

I thought forestry and other tree workers were made of tougher stuff used to drive a Series III diesel from Worthing to Chester to work every week and come back weekends. and used to do 150 mile round trip a day. I now drive a 1987 defender 200 TDI and think of nothing of driving to the girlfriends and back 142 miles to be exact. So that 53 I must be a lot younger than you boys

Average about 30miles a day in my 300tdi, I only cover a 20mile radius. Wouldn't have a problem going further in it though.

I really think people over exaggerate how un comfortable they are. Iv done several 400mile trips in mine and I honestly don't find it uncomfortable at all. A little noisy, Yes.
