Ah but the 'getting a dog crate in the boot AND a grandson on a backseat' at the same time sort of came from left field. She'd only suggested one OR the other before and frankly Tardis are thin on the ground this model year, especially in 'not white'.

It is strange how some vehicles just go and go, our old H plate Shogun which we bought new in Germany, had 200k+ on the clock when we sold it a week short of 20 years ownership, we towed a big Burstner and latterly the Eriba with it all over Europe, coming back to the UK twice a year with the Burstner, and it never let me down. I had it dealer serviced until the 3 year warranty expired then just changed oil and filter religiously at 3000 miles. Never went near a dealership again, only went to a garage for it's MoT, and I had a wheel bearing replaced in as I say just under 20 years.

Tyres, brake pads and shoes, and a battery, were the only other items I replaced, original clutch, exhaust (stainless from new on the export Shogun ( not Pajero).

Fabulous vehicle just needed 6 gears, and a diet


My Rav4 failed twice in 4 years due to Lambda sensor failure. (Given away)

Mini Cooper S no problems. (Sold)

Current car 10 plate BMW 320d no problems, yet
