What is the take on the engine to go for, petrol or diesel?

If it were me, I'd say petrol purely based on the refinement that I got on the lap of the estate. It was more than capable of the very steep ascents and the pick-up when he gave it the beans was bloody frightening (the induction noise from the snorkel was intoxicating also).

But I guess it all depends on your use case... towing etc.

I also would be wary of buying a new diesel vehicle considering the push to eradicate them. Stuart

the decline of diesel looks terminal; although there is a certain irony attached to questioning your ICE choice on a 2.7 tonne, permanent 4 wheel drive, body on frame, mobile brick.

I've never had adblue, and don't think I really want the hassle.

DPF is a and who wants to waste fuel feeding it, and then find it's diluting your oil.

EGR is even worse, a fundamentally flawed technogy that just pushes issues/costs onto long term owners.

It's a funny time to be making a choice ~ best place is on the fence and scanning the horizon for the solution we all need.

So I figure they are starting to pick some of the LR buyers who wanted a solid and dependable vehicle but are not badge snobs. Possibly like LR owners of old

Ignoring whether the number started at zero or 1,000 or even 2,000; Is that the same as just saying the numbers of confirmations (deposit holders) has moved from 9,999 to 10,000 plus?
