PiperCub Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 He has two Discoveries. Both are now broken I'm sorry, but this made me laugh out loud - I feel guilty, but it did. Such an Autoshite thing to say! Edit: My taxi has just arrived - destination? Straight to hell.

I love them. I would cry myself to sleep owning one I just KNOW it. In fact, the only way to own them is on tick with a warranty from new. I'd not have the spuds for it 15 years down the road. chodweaver and Eddie Honda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 TBH this is worth about £800 on a good day with a following wind in my books - but having had one I can attest that they tow bloody brilliantly - slow though for a 2.4 pezhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Maverick-/112483398314?hash=item1a308872aa:g:i6IAAOSwvjdZXi8v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 X Trails are pretty cheap - nicer inside than the Mav/Terrano - but not as reliable or with as big a towing capacity IRRChttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-X-TRAIL-SVE-DCI-2-2-DIESEL-5-DOOR-6-SPEED-MAN-MET-SILVER-C-SAT-NAV-ALLOYS/112482445823 D Spares & Tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Have heard Rextons are good I had a Musso and it was shockingly bad Quite like the X Trail, will mention that The Terrano is overpriced and wrong engine, the diesels are good but the old Laurel engined ones are way outdated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
