Anyone know of good or bad things about the X5 with the 3.0 diesel auto  2003/4 ?
Only to be run on well made Bio of course.

Yup, ones driven by celebrities wives have to be towed around by Discos in the snow.

Anything more than light drizzle and all the Land Crusers in the village stay in their nice dry garages.

Is that because they're scared of a bit of rust?

Mate I'm with you!

Longevity, reliability, capability it's got to be the LC beast! LC's don't rust and they don't break - plenty of enthusiasts green-laning them  every weekend.  The 4.2TD will pull a cathedral too - No competition... which is why owners keep them for 10 years and they're as rare as the proverbial wooden horse poo, when you want to buy one - coz the owners won't let go of them!

Someone left a note on my Disco this morning asking "if I wanted to sell it, please phone this number"

People have exquisite taste round here.
