My thoughts exactly. I've said it before and I'll continue to say it until proven wrong. What for the money can embarrass a 911, carry 5 people, return 35+ mpg, fit shopping and a couple of bikes in and handle corners as well?
It's stumped me for years, it's all round ability is unique for...
I've two front springs 'gathering dust'. Done around 5k, been sitting in the garage for 18 months and I need to clear some space. Open to decent offers above the £100 mark, will be going on ebay in the next day or two so you've got a heads up.
Brand new, each one will set you back over £100...
It's scandalous how there is an enforced law to make us pay a closed shop price - The govt. need to look into insurance hikes and come up with a solution. Maybe ring fencing fines etc to lower premiums - but they won't do that until they sort the benefits system out, which is costing more than...
The oem ones are of very poor quality - i'd look at some decent aftermaket stainless steel ones that don't rust and sieze personally. They don't cost much....
I need to clear some space in the garage so I'm about to list two front dampers on ebay, clean - done around 5k (my spare set that have been gathering dust for two years)
To save me the hassle of ebay, do you want to make me a realistic offer?

Right, I think I'm settled on which ever ticks the most boxes out of the following:
Nissan Terrano II 2.7 swb
Nissan x-trail
Rav 4
Freelander.
Boxes are:
performance on road
performance off road
features
mpg
tax and insurance bands
reliability scores on user forums
I've a feeling the nissans...
98’ R reg face lifted E39 540Ci auto with every conceivable optional extra including; TV, roof mounted DVD, inbuilt child booster seats, fully electric, lumbar support & heated front seats, inbuilt ski holder bag, 6 CD changer, AC Schnitzer mirrors and exhaust, climate control, electric reach &...
hmm food for thought. I discounted the freelander as build quality and reliability seem horrendous. The Ranger is bit on the large side - The size of the freelander is perfect but just too fragile.
Nissan Terrano II 2.7 swb version is my current thoughts... ?
i'm not after a great road car to be fair - something to get from a-b and can tackle bridleways and snow with relative ease.
Also add x-trail into the equation....
I'm going to be selling the 540Ci and getting a small - swb landy or rav4 size 4wd car for the winter. looking at around £4k outlay
Just wondering what everyone's opinions are as to which one to get.
I've scoured the markets and shortened the selection to;
Scubby outback
Rav4
Merc ML
any...
