Guest diesel_jim Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hmmm... difficult because i've bought so many *good* bits! probably one of my 8274's (either one!) as they're so handy. if nothing else, no lockers, mega tyres,mega suspension or whatever, a decent winch can drag you through on bald 205 road tyres with no axle travel! worst....my old ramsey REP8000 winch.... woudln't pull skin off of custard and always broke down/leaked in water & mud and was as slow as hell!

roguevogue Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Best value has to be my Discovery. B) Most lucky has to be my hardly used 8274 (£50) Worst must be my first Land Rover, series 1, took 5 years to finish and was useless at the end of it. Surprisingly I did make money on it though.
