Hi, we presently own a 1997 landrover defender 300tdi 110 county station wagon, in black with a/c, looks great,well maintained and the last of the tdis but not proving ideal as a family vehicle,
So I am now looking for something a little more refined and powerful and above all proper seats in the back for child seats, if you are not familiar with a 12 seater defender the middle row seats are plywood with the luxury of foam pads and cloth stapled over and offer no support for the child seats so it has to go on that basis ( the fact you cant really hear anyone talking I can cope with !!!), also we have a fairly heavy 1970s royale caravan and I quite fancy something with a bit more grunt to pull it
After plenty of deliberating there is only vehicle I would consider to replace it and thats a Toyota Landcruiser 80 series 4.2 diesel manual, I am looking for a genuine vehicle that has been well maintained , I dont really not what to watch out for but having spoken to a few land cruiser owners they dont seem to go wrong very often and its just general wear and tear items that need replacing
If any one knows of something decent out there please let me know, I am prepared to wait/travel for something good as I will want to hang onto it for a long time
