rest my case!

your Troper may be streets ahead of your TD t2 for the same age, but to me they have a feeling of fadded grandure, shabby chique of you like. The feeling of a seedy old Authur Daley jag to smoke your cigar in and feel like your doing well. Where as the TDI T2 does feel youg and alert and nippy, and driving the two - the T2 feels like a GTI - and the Trooper (as i said) like wallowing old jag. but that's based on ownership and experience not web site reviews.

by the way does yours have a rear LSD as most of them didn't and the back brakes (as you say) are a pain!
yes mine has the lsd still wont kick out might be down to the auto box

i havnt driven a mistrel

but i have driven an early tdi from 97 befor i bought the mav and thought their wasnt alot of difference in the 2 apart from more power from the tdi, the one i drove only had electric windows in the front and winders in the back where as mine had electric windows all round

errrrrrr.........isnt thats one part they tweaked (or is certainly different to standard) ? I always understood the suspension on a vehicle affected it quite a bit. I suppose if you drilled a hole through one shocker and cut your front springs in half you would see what I mean about the difference

and it doesnt matter about the japanese market, youre using it in the Uk.....arent you ?

same as how jeep turned to the germans to build them a quality vehicle but choose the wrong one

but youre using it on the british roads doesnt matter where it started off.

If theres no difference between lotus and non lotus versions then your little flower is wearing its badges without justification. A barge handling standard trooper in a pretty frock. What a tart.

Dirty Frog fights to see another day

Pajero is staying & will never see mud or a tow bar

Want to get another non intercooled SWB Terrano / Maverick as a back up

Want a 90

Fancy a Jeep

and back on thread, a wise choice Adz, whe i first joined in i didn;t realise you already owned the Mitsubishi! It's nice to have two different vehicles so you can have a bit of a change.
But it's a waste to have a 4x4 with no tow bar
