I am homeless on Wednesday, and finding a new house to live in is posing a few problems!

BTW Not forgot about your Isuzu Trooper, most of the ones in your price bracket have been to the moon and back as that's just the nature of the vehicle.

But there is one with 100,000KM's Yr2000 which is just around the corner to another car I'm going to have a look at/purchase either tomorrow or early next week so I'll pop in and take a look at it..

Tho if I were you I'd be choosing something more popular in Europe than one of those as you'll get better value for money.

Any real reason why it's posing problems? ignore me if I'm being too inquisitive.

Seems at least around here due to property not moving there is more rentable property on the market and the prices are in fact coming down a little.

There lies the rub zel, it has to be about the same size as my Discovery, and around the same comfort level.


Don't mind what it is other than that, so long as it is left hand drive, and is easy to convert to Spanish plates.

Can you not have another Landrover? I would find it hard driving anything else now. Got a Discovery and a Series 2a

I live in an are renown for polo, and believe me its massive, and the start of the season is.........May.

One client of a friend who is an estate agent has just rented out her place for 3 months to a polo player for 15,000, 5 grand a month, paid in cash up front.

I cant even begin to compete, and I reuse to pay 1200 plus for a 3 bed shoebox with no heating.

I'll warn ya now mate, you have to be SUPER careful buying any Asian market vehicle in LHD form as it may be a gray import and you could run into a nightmare having to reg it (unless you use the same place as Mitzy) as I've had a bloke on another forum just yesterday saying that his grey import car has been flatly refused Spanish registration.

If you go and buy something, never ever part with even a deposit until they can show you it has a C.O.C (Certificate Of Conformity)

I don't have a problem with having another Disco, I just asked zel if he could keep his ear to the ground and see what's out there.

Ah yes I know this feeling well living spitting distance from Wimbledon Tennis, next door rents their house out for 10k for 3 WEEKS and they just bugger off on holiday with the money so they don't even really have to find somewhere else to stay!

Last year I had some 'famous' player living next door and because he was supposedly 'famous' thought it was his god given right to knock and ask my password for my wifi.... The bloke quickly learnt some English lingo that conversation!

For a Disco with about the same mileage you're looking at a 1997 model year.

What year is your rhd one?

BTW: Ever thought of something like a 4door L200 or Vigo(Hilux) with the enclosed rear canopy?
