Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Getting very fed up of the combination of 18" wheels and sports suspension with the increasingly crap roads so am looking at changing to a smallish diesel SUV. Preferrably no higher than Band d tax and around the mid €30k.

    Reliability is key so I'm looking at advice from owners only please

    Quickly run along to a Mitsubishi dealer and see if they have any Outlander 2.0 D-ID Invite models available at €24,995.

    Tax is Band E, but it's pretty damn cheap comapred to the competition. Set aside the €5,000 you save to pay the €183 tax difference for a few years and put a full leather interior in.

    I don't have one, but had a commercial version for a week. Not really my cup of tea as it's too off road to be a car, and too car to be an off roader, but the Mitsi's are usually realiable, the engine is the VW 2.0Tdi (PD version) which pulls fairly well and returns decent mpg.

    €25k.:eek:..bloody hell had to check that for myself. Thats a great price. Will deffo arrange a look. Don't care a damn about handling. Just want something that will handle a rough road without sounding like its about to fall apart and is reliable
