Probably need to listen to head and not heart on this matter. I know an older truck will require items that need servicing but I don't want to head off road with a on my shoulder just waiting for it to break down.
Big thanks guys, now to head online in search of a pootrol or cruiser. Off road ability, and more reliability.
Cheers gents

You're not listening mate...

Patrol and Cruiser of similar vintage will also need maintenance.

The Disco is no worse in this regard.

What you need to do is LEARN and buy tools... Often the money saved from a mechanics pocket pays for the tools.

Doesnt matter what you get at the end of the day

If you buy an older vehicle you either

a, become very good friends with lots of people with mechanical know how
b, pay lots to mechanics
c, learn to DIY
