Terrano or not 2 rano??

Hello all

This is Ben, heating engineer in Cornwall. Just found this site and joined after a bit of search. £10 is cheap!!

Anyway, I was, until recently, a Terrano owner, '99 SWB and loved it, bit of green lane, lots of fun, and very impressed with it in the rough, but new MOT said no, and it was too much to fix (dreaded 'r' word), so sold on to a local farmer for off-road use.

Have been without for a while and withdrawal symptoms getting more pronounced. I want another. Can anyone help with advice in my choice please?

Rust apart (I will be looking closely), my main question is whether the 3.0 di engines are as reliable and robust as the 2.7. I fancy the better fuel economy and power (will be towing a bit), and will be mainly on-road.

Any opinions please? Many thanks!
