Fair enough hehe

I was mainly after any model specific information regarding what to look out for etc. - which I've now found plenty on by looking at the dedicated forums.

Have you thought about a new ish Grand Vitara ??? for around £6k you could get a sub 60,000 grand vitara, leather, 5 door, 1.9 diesel (thats 42 extra urban, and 37 combined), selectable 4wd, great to drive on or off road (change the tyres for all terrains and you can play with the big boys) ?

I did look but to be honest they just don't grab me for some reason. I know they're quite capable, but maybe it's because they look a bit...girly? My partner doesn't really like the looks either, which is a big thing to her (you know what most women are like rolleyes).

This sort of thing really appeals to me though (note the lift):

I know what you mean, you like the Freelander and have set your heart on it as long as its going to be practical...

Just take a look at this GV for a second ... Lifted, wider track, AT tyres and as much goodies as it is possible to put on one..
