F****r drove through the yard and out to where I was in the field, couldn't be seen from the road. Got rid of him fairly lively.

Sorry about that boss there's no reverse in the jeep so I had to turn somewhere

Isn't it just, lambs to dose, stuff to move, sheep to move.

Car is back in action, first cheque comes in this door will see it turn into a van I reckon.

Hard to beat something with a flat floor out the back, easy to get stuff out.. I've an Xtrail and its a gift, just a good height for getting stuff in/out of and nice upright position for driving whigh helps the back.. Good down the fields too..

A van like a hiace or something similar would suit me better tbh, for doing things like towing sheep trailer, collecting a ton of ration and that sort of work. Mechanic keeps saying crewcab jeep but I'd reckon myself could be a money pit. I find I am in no mans land with the car, or a smaller van. If you drive into a field around here, you've crashed

Rare enough and expensive, ESB use them a bit so you see the odd ex about.
Regular transporter are great van but expensive. Took a 151 for a spin and it was real nice. Worked in a place that had a 2.5 150 chipped up, was something to drive, but heavy on fuel.

I don't need 4x4, will only be driving on roads.

Understandable, I don't need 4x4 really, I wanted it for towing the caravan, and needed something upright seated for back.

After pulling caravan for a while I reckon I can do without the 4x4. Have done it with the car and it was fine.

The father has an X trail aswell . Nice to drive , good in bad ground and good to pull while still being a tidy size

is there any xtrails with a low range gearbox in them? would have made a great car out of them if they did. loads of power and very comfortable to drive no matter what sort of a road you are driving on. well able to pull but taking off on hills with a load behind you was fairly rough on the clutch...
