    I think you'll find the German pronunciation is "gay vaagen"

    I've been trying to find something to try running on vege oil. Cheap diesel 4wd's are hard to find ...

    Mahindra CJ340.

    MQ Patrol SWB if I could find one without (terminal) cancer.

    Mind you, just to be able to say it to people, an original Willy's CJ3B with the "F"-head motor would be fun "Yeah mate, it's an F-head Jeep." (For those not recently dunked in Jeep-info, it's a Inlet-Over-Exhaust design, similar to the Series 1 LR motors)

    Maybe not cheap.

    Oh well, can't have a cool (green) car and a full wallet.

    Cheers

    probably a 79 series RV 'cruiser trayback..... i know i can fit in them, and i know what a turbo'd 75 series with 31" boots can do in the hands of a good driver (put it this way...... they got the lighting towers there by towing them with a D11...... then they expected us to service them!)

    Apart from a new LR, there's not a single 4WD on the market that appeals.

    If I had to have one, I guess a 4.2 turbo Pootrol - or an early Jeep station/utility wagon:

    Depends on the purpose of other 4wd.
    I would not buy a Toyota Hilux, they are the biggest POS on the market (we have plenty of them at work) or a standard Diesel 100 Series Cruiser.

    I would consider :
    A Humer H2
    A Nissan Patrol 4.2 TD (No longer available).
    A V8 200 Series Cruiser
    A F250/350 mainly for carrying loads and bikes etc

    For reote travel
    A Unimog Camper
    2011 Discovery 4 TDV6
    2009 DRZ400E Suzuki
    1956 & 1961 P4 Rover (project)
    1976 SS Torana (project - all cash donations or parts accepted)
    2003 WK Holden Statesman
    Departed
    2000 Defender Extreme: Shrek (but only to son)
    84 RR (Gone) 97 Tdi Disco (Gone)
    98 Ducati 900SS Gone & Missed

    Hmm if I had to replace the equivalent of my D3, I would look at either the ML or GL500 with offroad package ( low range, protection, adjustable air suspension) or as mentioned a G Wagon. Thats about it for me, wouldnt consider any of the Jap 4WD's, never owned Jap vehicles, never will. Even though not a direct replacement would be as also stated a 4 door Rubicon as I dont mind the Jeeps,

    Regards

    Stevo
