Odd car wants.

[Zonda_]

I have a strange desire to own a cheap 4wd to go mud plugging in. Looking at the prices of available, decent looking stuff I fear this may become a reality...

You can go green-laning with @Jobbo

If we didn't live at opposite ends of the country yes!, plenty of green lanes round here though.

Loving the K truck, except what is going on with the transfer box (if it is that) - looks like it's trying to wobble itself apart?!

[ZedLeg]

Yeah the transfer box is bouncing around a lot.

If it's still got the Kei spec engine they'll be working it hard so maybe it's driveline vibration.

Speaking of odd car wants, I'm back to wanting a van conversion camper.. but the tight northerner in me baulks at the £20K+ needed to get a decent one.

I drove Boggle Hole in my A6 Allroad a few years ago. Took that down quite a lot of green lanes without considering it green-laning at the time.

Anyway, cheap 4wds are great fun. Get something Japanese without too must rust - and avoid models with known engine issues like Grand Vitara 2.4s

I was browsing and the majority of cheap stuff is early Freelanders. I was considering a Sportrak but they are pretty rare it seems.

I didn't notice that

It looks like a divorced transfer box so instead of being solidly mounted to the gearbox it’s sat on its own rubbers.

Dave!

The 1st gen Freelander is great but has one particular flaw - the viscous coupling regularly fails and people don’t fix it. So if you go for one, check it’s actually 4wd.

Second Gen Freelanders are pretty good off road. No low range box however. Shouldn't be a problem on most green lanes though.
