Thank you all. I think I'll pull the trigger on a RR. Already found a few I like to have a look over the weekend. Is the RR Sport sitting much lower than the regular one? Do they have any other optional differences for which I might want to consider one over the other ? Should I avoid the first few years of the L322 line ?

I was expecting more information such as common faults and general must have options and extras to be looking for. I'm pretty sure that any of the mentioned vehicles would suit my needs so I guess the best all rounder would win my vote. What's very interesting is the fuel consumption claimed for the FL 2 2.2 diesel, which is almost two times more economical than the RR. However something's telling me that the real life numbers would be identical which makes me think about leaning towards petrol and LPG. I've heard that if properly installed the LPG can work as good as a petrol. How about that ?

Would the discovery be more reliable than another RR ? To be honest I'm not a family person yet, so even a RR is a bit big for me. I don't mind getting dirty. I do enjoy working under my vehicles, but know very little about electronics unfortunately. Reading fault codes would be relatively easy, changing a sensor, pump or other light job as well. I guess the most unreliable part would be the gearbox. When I draw the line You can have any SUV on a similar price and while even a Skoda Yeti would do for me, I really prefer an older L322. I've fallen in love with it since the first time I saw it. To be fair now I'm driving an audi a4 b8 and I still find it uncomfortable vehicle (but well built though).

I always wanted a SUV so my time has come. I'm really thinking about 4 models I like but don't know anything about 4x4 and off road. It wouldn't be driven too often but when it does it would be urban mostly. I want to go light of road on my holidays as well so first of all the model - Range Rover L322 (love it), Freelander 2, Mercedes ML or Volvo XC90. I'm reading horrible stories about all of them. I've never driven off road, but I've found out that freelander 2 has very good off road systems. I'm leaning towards the Range Rover as I'm looking for comfort and space mostly but I'm really afraid from all the electrical and gearbox problems I read. Which one is the best all rounder and what power train would you suggest ? I'm a big Diesel fan but I don't mind Petrol either. If I get a Petrol would definitely convert it to LPG. What should I be looking for and is there any must have specs ?
