    I reckon I'd keep th D1, spend a few (more) bucks on it and tow a Saturn Camper or something similar.

    OK, if we were to be "Practical" then it would be an OKA for me. Perfect size and I like the look of them, and they are made in Australia!

    Remember it has to be able to be fixed if need be in the bush, so sadly a RR Sport and anything over Electric and over the top in modern crap, is no good...

    It has to be capable off road and be reliable and good on fuel.

    So in my eyes a Nissan Solid axle Poontrol or a Toyo Commercial rig would be my choice....

    I love my LR, but lets be honest.... a new Fender is not yet known as reliable....

    So lets not be Biased.... i want your answers to have merrit...

    An older 300tdi Fender would be great... but getting long in the tooth...

    Steve

    (no i have not got cash)
    To be honest.

    I think that the ultimate touring vehicle is the Toyota Troop Carrier.



    What would I buy?

    I would wait for the new airbag dash which is now in the country and just about to be released by Toyota and I would buy the 76 series GXL.

    Cheers

    I just wonder which kind of grog you have indulged or if it is something wrong with the tap water

    I you say the old 4.2 turbo diesel I will accept that you can have some points there but the last V8?

    Now, the Tdi is getting old! come on, there are heaps of 109 with old engines in Africa doing what they suppose to do EXPEDITIONS! So a Tdi is more than capable to do what we want.

    So any old Defe with a recondition Tdi 300 or the Isuzu are the best for sure!

    I made no comment about the Tdi and if you think that a vintage car is more reliable than a new vehicle then thats fine. IF you really think that the tdi is a better motor than the TDV8 then you are seriously bias or you haven't gotten out and driven a TDV8.

    Likewise if you think the performance of the Tdi is satisfactory then thats also fine, but from everything I have seen and what I have driven, the tdi does not meet any of my performance requirements except fuel consumption. Admittedly it does for some, but I'm not one of them.

    If you think that you could live with the benchmark NVH levels of an Isuzu then thats also fine, I most certainly can not live with the outrageous vibrations or having absolutely everything in the vehicle rattling like crazy because of it. Again, some may find this acceptable, but I'm not one of them.

    If you think that the TDV8 is a poor motor, then you need to drive one. Performance wise it totally blows away the Tdi, Td5 and Isuzu. The Turbo diesel 6 I haven't driven and the NA 6 is a dog. If talking about reliability, then the tdi is definately no saint either, a quick look at the timing belts will verify that.
    Cheers
