mines a 2004 facelift 3.0d auto, done 85k had it 3 years. superb car and never needed anything other than a couple of services, discs and pads and a battery, averages around 24/25mpg daily running and can top 30mpg on a steady run.
very nice to drive, no wallowing and some 4wd talent, enough to keep me moving over the winter but i dont think it would get far up mount Kilimanjaro lol

Cheers it wont be doing any offroading but will be handy for the winter, what sort of range are you getting out a tank?

depends on driving, local running around 500 miles, more on a run.
