One of the only 4x4's she would replace her Pajero with.

Almost. Close enough.

Still got the tow bar, new rear discs and pads, plus a random rear caliper to shift.

Yes it's auto all the V6s were, it's also on LPG , there is a 2.0 manual on the beige.
Not for sale at the moment though, it's our second and I really like them.

I would just keep your eye out as they come up fairly regularly on Facebook market place and eBay, I think they are a lot of car for not very much money, look out for inner sills at the rear and corroded rear wheel arches hidden by the plastic trim until you open the rear doors.
Expect 18-19 mpg stop start and 24-26 on a run. Also get the engine hot and let it idle whilst watching the oil pressure light, they all use a bit and if not checked can easily result in low oil pressure at idle and a flickering light.

I remember being amazed at the design of these when they first came out, now they're rusty scrap fodder. The ravages of time :twisted:

It's the newest car I've ever owned, and only the second I've ever scrapped!

The second newest car I've ever owned is the Alfa, an 05 reg.
