Hello Since I need a car with 3.5 t trailer load I would like to buy a Discovery . But everyone advises me from it and here I also read not really good things about Landrover ! I personally like the Discovery very well and I thought of a used TD5 so with 150tkm bj00 you get the from approx. 1200€ much more can unfortunately also not spend and the vehicle should then also lift about 100tkm with me ! What do you prefer to leave the fingers of it or stop It would be the only off-road car in the price range where I really like and where 3.5 t can pull ! Many still a patrol which is but again from the consumption higher and I like purely optically not quite so good ! salutes Jakob

All-wheel systems Pickups vs Pajero V80
ahoi ! I think in the medium term about the replacement of my pajero V80 3.2 DiD by a pickup after. the pajero is often used away from normal or at all any way (hunt) – where in some cases really off-road accessibility is required. that was also a reason against a typical suv and for a classic off-roader with support gear and mechanical 100% lock. however, an off-road pickup would be more practical overall, than tighter candidates I have the nissan navara as well as ford ranger looked at. BUT – if I read the data correctly NO pickup offers an all-wheel system which would be just like the V80 pajero ! the current ford ranger doesn’t even have any mechanical axle locks against price, only freewheel hubs, so that no possibility of a lock between front and rear axle and no reduction gearbox. the navara after all a reduction gearbox and against price a diffuser rear, but NO lockable central differential ential. i have looked further at isuzu and VW, misszeichnis! i haven’t found a pickup which has a mechanical 100% lockable mittlediff and a 100% lock. i overlook something at the dates or will i actually find no pickup of the mitsubishi pajero V80 in matters of off-road accessibility that can reach water ? many greetings!

Which offroader or SUV is right for me?!
Hello municipality, I’m a long silent reader here in the forum. Now I have a car purchase in my house at the latest in the spring, because my C-Class W202 can’t be saved anymore (in the meantime pretty much everything is rusted by….) I have an off-road car in front of me, now the variety of cars suggests me now and there you really lose the overview very quickly. The terrain where I move is very different. Since I am an enthusiastic angler I move very much in the forest (forest paths) as well as on the Rhine (field paths) where there are many potholes, where my C-Class has already sat up one or the other time…… (poor basement Furthermore, I need an AHK to pull a small motor boat. Since the car is of course not only needed for the hobby, it should also lie solid on the road and offer some driving fun. My daily work path is +- 36 km 80% expressway. It should also be family-friendly, as with u ns next year is planned to grow back Yes I know to find the egg legend Wollmichsau is not without. Conditions are 17500 euros, of course used cars and with my approx. 25ooo KM in the year it will probably be a diesel. To date I have looked at a Grand Vitara, however I find a “good” automatic transmission which did not convince me at the Vitara! Then a KIA Sorrento, I found very horny the cart, but there is a friend in my environment of the huge Problems with the Sorrento has. And last but not least my favorite of the ML, only unfortunately damned expensive! =/ I would be very happy about some advice from your side, Greeting Daniel

Purchase advice cheap/reliable SUV
Hello, I already posted this post in the Land Rover Forum, but unfortunately I didn’t get any answers. Then I went to this forum for further research and thought, here I might get a reply because we will soon move and a car will no longer be enough for us, my girlfriend wants to get her own car. She swam for the freelander, which is also priced in her budget. Since we both have little idea about SUVs, I hope for your help. as good as it is all helpful information: – Budget is 5,500 euros, but could be increased if it seems reasonable to ~12.000 euros. E.g. to buy the newer Freelander model (from 2006). Alternative SUVs/manufacturers of course conceivable. – Tax/insurance should not be too high – if possible no / ca. swachen of the model – KM performance is difficult to estimate, it will drive mainly around the 5-20 KM by car, but it will not be as good as t more than 10,000 km/year – Anhaengerkupplung is important, because it has a horse and this in future also likes to transport – two dogs available (small and medium size) – automatic/manual is no matter I create a Benizer makes more sense in the KM performance, whereby I have read that the freelander of the td4 would be the better choice. I hope you can help us further. Thank you & Gruss Barn

Interesting Alpine roads for cars 4×4
Hello, I would like to do an extended alpine tour in the summer, where it is mainly about beautiful and demanding alpine passes or mountain roads. I have also made a little bit of sense and looked for the highest pass of the Alps (Col d’ Iseran 2770m) and the highest navigable point with a car (Col de Sommelier 3005m). My vehicle is an original Opel Vectra A Turbo 4×4. So a car with a 204 hp turbo engine and permanent all-wheel drive. This is why my question, who knows the roads still in the Alps, which offer an attractive route and without major problems and legally to drive with the car described above? The big passes such as Stilfser Joch, Timmelsjoch, Furka-, Grimsel, Nufenenpass I have all already driven. So it is more about the not so well known secret tips or Schleichwege. I am already off from the Col du Galibier and the Col du Parpaillon. I find the latter very attractive, but I am not so sure if I can drive it with the Vectra. It is a public road without restrictions, mostly graveled and equipped with a moody and problematic tunnel. So if you have experiences here or information, links etc. you can get in touch.

Noise puzzles for buddies
Hello Offroader Hope to get here one or the other hint about a noise phenomenon, which I noticed for the first time yesterday. Was on the way with my wrangler, the windows all below, wonderfully warm. Then I suddenly made out a noise under the car. Each time per wheel turn. Thought first of all on a stone or similar in the tire profile, however, it was not a short hard “Tick – Tick – Tick” but rather a “pffft – pffft – pffft”, similar to the noise which one If you put a playing card on the bike so that the spokes make a noise (we did it before anyway). It only occurred when driving without load, both when accelerating and braking it disappeared suddenly. Well, the car was in the 100′ service week ago, including timing belt changes and changes on summer tires. Now, of course, you might think it has to have something to do with the tyre change (since the service was the first time with open But since the whole car was screwed, it doesn’t necessarily have to be related to the socks, which I checked all 4 on any parts stuck in the profile. I was still lying under it, but with my technical understanding I would have trouble to recognize if the drive shaft were missing. Maybe one of you has a ignite idea, otherwise I have no choice but to go to the friendly one and let him hear and find out the mistake in his own attempt. Thank you in advance for your tips.

Help tips when buying Mitsubishi Pajero V20
Hello, I’m a mechanic but I’ve never had a jeep before. It’s about the following: I want a Mitsubishi Pajero V20 u best than 2.5 diesel. Need it for a maximum of 8 months, because I’m going to live in Sweden for this time and want to drive into the terrain from time to time….. Not extreme, but maybe more than a dirt road. Engine? The diesel irritates me, ….. Will cover me with everything that it can survive the winter. It should be an older one because I can help myself and be well informed. What do you think about the Pajero V20 3 door in general? Where are its weak points? Where are the problem zones? Are there better alternative ones? Thanks for the help!

Range Rover purchase, what is to be paid attention?
Hello Offroader, I would like to buy a Range Rover 4.6 HSE. What do I have to pay attention to when buying, where are the typical weak points. The consumption is not an issue, because I need the car only for short distances. I looked at a 4.6 HSE with full equipment on the weekend, year 97 with 119,000 km. The car was optically in a reasonable condition and rust was not an issue. What surprised me was that the seller had his price idea without much trading from 7500 to 5900 EUR red In addition, he would make me ASU and TÜV new, the tyres were also fine. Would be nice if someone could help me. Greetings ARBE
