Ideas to the floor please.

Fiat group products are all solid and reliable and never rust.

Oh...wait...

Even I'd go along with this suggestion.

"Mr Firth to the predictaphone."

Motorway behaviour is less important as I'm about 100 miles from a motorway and probably less than half the drive to work is cruising.

Autotrader also only has 2 Exploders within 200 miles but I do see them about as they seem popular with american expats and this is oil country.

Will keep my eyes peeled.

But the Pajero will be reliable all the time.

Heheh, don't worry. I still wouldn't touch one with SteveH's.

And make you look like some theiving pikey scum.

New shape ones can't be had for cheap yet. Old shape ones are like hens teeth hidden in highly corrosive rocking horse shit aren't they?

Where would I find one?

Wouldn't if you bought one ;-)

and that stops it being able to drive in snow? my old mechanic mate has a pajero LWB and he uses it mainly as a tow car, he got it for f*ck all and it was only meant to last him a year or so, hes had it for about 3 years now i think, f*ck all wrong with it, looks a bit 'used' and the interior has seen better days but the air con and everything else still works.

Hmmm... tricky one really.

I saw a really mint early 90s Fourtrak the other day - they seem to be quite capable without screaming 'Environmental Terrorist!'

Might be worth seeing if you can find one of those, as they sit nicely between a Discovery and SJ410, size wise.

My reasoning exactly.

Can't remember if it is the pinin or the sport, but one of the smaller Shoguns isn't a proper shogun and known for being a bit s**te.

Could be a shed, could be cheaply bodged through an MOT. But cheap as chips:

Camper than a weekend at Butlins, ideal for today's metrosexual MX-5 owner.

Has no-one suggested a 3.0V6 4x4 X type yet??

Seriously consider one of these.
