I have one for towing all our equipment on a weekly basis, Bandit equipment so it works hard. It has just clocked 106K without too many problems although it is serviced regularly. Just had its 105K service which is everything + cam belt & that was £550.

 

Prone to suspension arms/bushes wearing & had a couple of electrical faults but apart from that all good. We have another automatic which has not been as reliable as my manual, think they suffer from gearboxes & torque converters.

HI TREE ask GENSET STEVE about them he will tell you thanks jon

 

I had the therapy now Jon and can say the £1200 a month saving is coming in handy. There was just too many inferior components falling off mine at such a low mileage when it had such an easy life.

One of the best 4x4 to drive, Tow with etc... But be prepared for dipping into your wallet!

 

I've just sold one after 13,000 miles in 9 months

 

The above quote about sums it up really. Really nice to drive, 400 miles towing and get out as fresh as you got in but once they get a taste for the garage they eat money.

 

Bottom arms front and rear, suspension compressor and general air leaks, gearbox, torque convertor, egr valves.

 

It's a £50k vehicle and repair bills are based on this fact. Find a good one and you are laughing, find a neglected one and your wallet will cry!!
