Back after an absence!

[sc-em]

Well, I must admit, having had my trusty 2.5, then a Disco 1, and sold them both, I now feel the need to once again have a handy 4 x 4 for chucking things in and generally going for a play.
I think I like the sound of a 2.8 as the economy doesn't seem too bad...just need to find and drive.
Anyway, hi to all again!

hello,,,theres a lwb 2.8 on ebay up in newcastle i think? its on ebay but needs a flywheel but nice and clean lookin anyway just thought i wud mention it

[sc-em]

Thanks mate. Kind of you although hopefully there will be some closer. In fact there is an N reg nearby at £999, but is that a bit on the dear side?

[Dannyboy]

What's wrong with another 2.5 matey?? They're cheaper than a 2.8....

[sc-em]

Thought the economy was better on the 2.8 in general and it's an Isuzu engine isn't it? Not averse to any really, just like the sound of the 2.8. lol

[Dannyboy]

2.8 better on fuel than the 2.5??? I know they're abit slower but more reliable not sure on the economy though??

[sc-em]

I did wonder myself. You would advise a 2.5 then? As long as it isn't petrol I guess. The 2.3TD I first had was a willing workhorse it has to be said.

that n reg 2.8 for £999 looks bang on to me

[Dannyboy]

I like mine, eventhough I could've happily burnt it at half 8 this morning!!

[sc-em]

£999 not a bit over priced? I was going to maybe just put £800 in front of him?
Any major issues or things worth looking out for that may cause issues in the short term?

[fogman]

imo the 2.8 is the most sought after a series model and so getting your hands on a good one at a lower price than £1000 is getting harder... also winter time 4x4s are in greater demand,i guess you could wait and maybe travel to the other side of the country a few times for views etc and incur costs but if that were me and like in this case for you it was local id go have a good look and try to broker a deal !

[sc-em]

Good plan. I may wait and give it a day or so after a viewing. If it's meant to be it will. lol

Mid January.......just when the Chrimbo credit card bills comes in, is usually a good time to be waving cash about to buy cars

[sc-em]

My thoughts exactly although I was thinking a bit earlier with a hand full of notes. Lol. Can't be the market for selling cars just after the Christmas spending spree.
