as above a budget of about £7500 to 8500 max was going to look at a 2007 ranger but heard bad things about brakes and clutchs

i just dont know what to get i hear l200 have bad mpg and nivaras d22 suffer bottom end problems

so basically give me you opinions on your pick ups and the good and bad bits

and i have been looking at isuzu rodeos cause i knew the engine was bullet proof in the old vauxahlls lol

 

Got a navara d40 myself, its great, mpg is crap, but I'm not to bothered about that

There was a thread on here last week about them and other pickups, do a search. On my phone, otherwise I would post a link to it.

p100 run on home brew biodiesel

 

We have a few ford rangers in our fleet at woek.Tbh there a good pick up.Its only a mazda.

 

i have a ranger. i had to have front brakes under warranty, but i abused them chasing a v8 landrover. mine is a auto, so can't comment on the clutch.haven't had any other problems with it

 

l200,s are quality but like u say prett juicy when the turbo kicks in. But u could get an old style one for few grand. U wont save that in getting a pick up which is more economical

 

There's the land rover 110 or 130, but they may be a bit 'basic' for what your after. The L200 has very little room on the back seats if the driver is tall, but the ranger hasnt got exactly huge rear leg room either......

 

It would be the Ranger or the L200 for me.

a few ford lightnings on ebay in your price range, they would be fun, and not as bad on fuuel as u might think. 5.4 supercharged v8 almost 400 bhp

Got a Black L200 warrior coming up for sale in the very near future, 52 plate, chrome roll bar, spots, sliding lockable rear hatch cover, very tidy vehicle, located in Colchester £4.3k if you want to have a look

 

Mine was AWFUL on fuel!!!! great fun though!
