It will be a pure off-road toy, I am keeping the Disco 3 for family/work etc
so comfort isn't an issue in the new one.

Kind of told me what I thought, go for the 90 and enjoy it :-)

Cheers all

Actually, if bought cheap and it's been reasonably well serviced so the
engine's not shagged, there's a lot going for it.  The V8 is not bad in
water, and can be improved by some fairly simple splashproofing and decent
grade leads if it's not got them.

The auto box is if anything stronger than the manual ones, and although it's
a bit prone to take off down hill, it has advantages off-road in other
situations.  I didn't regret the auto conversion on my 110.

The LPG partly depends on how it's been done.  Provided the tanks are well
attached and not to low-slung, it's a good way of getting fuel prices with
the sound and fun-value of the V8.  Best ones use a tank in place of the
petrol tank and have a smaller wing tank for petrol - that's what I did on
my disco and you don't really lose any off-road ability.  Twin sill tanks
can cost you a bit of underbody clearance, but they're not generally much
lower than the chassis is anyway - the tanks are pretty tough, though, and
if securely mounted can be slid along the ground :-)

f.ck me, that Landybitz site is a pig to look at. That's the first time
I've looked at it (as I say, it looked like spam), and it's a bloody
eyesore. The "related items" bit in the way of what I was looking at
irritated me, and the fact that I had to look for the Derekmobile
instead of just going straight to it isn't good either.
