family car/tow car

[jason61c]

I've now got the long haired boss onboard.

So a large family car, thats happy pulling a horse trailer with 2 small pony's in. Lets say 800kg of horse, 850kg of trailer.

if possible 7 seats, not a deal breaker.

Reliable.

v8 land cruiser has been top of my list, finding a good one at a sensible price feels difficult.

Ideally under £35k. whats the options?

[jason61c]

£30k seems to get a porsche cayanne with the 4.2td engine, are they ticking time bombs?

[jason61c]

Or just something like this?

The 4.2d Cayenne would get my vote:

the one at paddock club has a deposit on it, otherwise I think that would have been the car.

Being a bit sensible, went for this, picked it up also today.

its got a fairly comprehensive 3 year warranty with it also.

I would like a 4.2 cayenne as a motorway car though, possibly when the electric company car goes back.

Less than 24 hours in and its thrown up its first fault on the dash.........

water in fuel filter.......... I don't have the time to drive it 1.5 hours back to the dealer, is it harsh to get them to come and sort it? it pretty much says you shouldn't really drive it with the fault code showing.

Great start to JLR product owning

get it to your nearest specialist, the dealer will probably pay for it but obviously speak to them first.

yeah, its one of those things, just means i'm back looking for a landcruiser v8

I've rang the supplying dealer, they've asked me to call back tomorrow am so they can work it out. I could take it there for them to sort but I haven't got a day spare.

Don't type SDV6 into Youtube

Hence the 3 year warranty.

Or look at the amount with massive milage on!

[jason61c]

yes it does.

[jason61c]

yes it does.

[jason61c]

turns out its just had a new fuel filter, so its likely sensor issue which they say can be regular once they've been moved/changed.

it didn't actually light up as fault today.

[jason61c]

its just had a fuel filter and sensor, likely to need the wiring replaced, the lights gone off.

Dealer has been great, so has the car really.
