Nissan V Range Rover ?????

[eclipse]

Just thought I would mention, I have been all over the place in my R3M, through deep water, Mud, over rocks, through heavy dusty terrain and had no problems, went through a puddle on the road today in the wifes Rangie and it packed up, coughed and spluttered all the way home kicking out nice plumes of grey smoke, just hope it is nothing major.

Seems to me if you want a good reliable tough 4x4, dont buy a Range Rover :lol: mind you it is good for the shopping run

I am also hoping that isnt the case, I will be checking it this morning to see if there is any serious damage hope not because it will be sat on the drive until more funds become available.
