Hi,
Need 4x4 so thinking about Honda CRV or Toyota Rav 4 any comments or ideas.
Considered Range Rover etc but more than I really need also unfortunately not as reliable as Jap cars.

Rextons are good.

Update. All being well it is going again so not getting rid of it atm as it is so useful. I had decided on a replacement though, a Kia Sorento 2.5. Seems to tick all the boxes and gettable at a reasonable price.

They do look good. Common rail. Looks like the injection pump is driven off a chain under a front cover. My only concern would be that the IP seems to be quite well buried under the inlet manifold on those, could be a pain to do the seals if it starts leaking. Though that said this guy makes it look relatively straightforward: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpMSC515Vyc

Apart from the special tool that doesn’t look to bad. Getting the deli pump off is rather confined as well. Wonder how much of a pain it is to get back on.
