    New 4x4's need lots of advise

    Hi All

    We are look to buy our first 4x4 we are looking at the 2.8 GU patrols. Looking for advise, hints and tips on this. I am not mechanical minded so would be better if it had most of the basic things we will need on it. If anyone can shed some light on what I should be looking for in terms of basics must haves. That would be great.

    Cheers in advance
