Hi Buying advice required!

HI,
Just broke my land rover disco again so am giving up with that.

I've been looking at what to get next...I do alot of field forestry tracks and hill work but no serious off roading.

I'm really drawn to an R reg patrol, a 2000 reg Terrano or a Mitsu Shogun

Is there anyone who can advise me on which is the best, (most reliable) all round 4x4?

which is made best and what points I should be looking at while buying?

If I buy a nissan, i'll be joining the site but would prefer some experienced steering on the way

There are only two vehicles of choice, a Toyota Landcrusier or a Nissan Patrol, just ask the United Nations

My new steering "well hard system" works a treat

Been off road big style today and all superb, no more flappy wheels and it goes where I point it now regardless of how rough the ground is
