FANTASTIC

I have owned many Land Rovers and many other 4x4 pick ups too. The Land Rover Td5 engine is bullet proof. I bought mine with 35k on the clock. It was 18months old and had 1 previous owner. Over the ensuing years I have clocked up 135k with absolutely NO engine, clutch or gearbox issues whatsoever. Off road nothing will ever beat it either. I'm about 6 foot and of course it's a little cramped compared to a Japanese pick up or Ford Ranger, as being a 90 truck cab you of course can't slide the seat back. But you don't buy the best 4x4 ever built in the world to moan about leg room or cab noise. My Land Rover has proved to be simply the best regarding its capabilities and bullet proof reliability.
