Hi, I've been thinking about buying a 4x4 for the last 6 months and am about to pay my deposit on Monday morning for a series 8 ST Patrol. I have spent a lot of time looking at different types of 4x4s but with 7 seats and all the other bits especially the new diff locks it seems to be the best value on the market. I've got quite a lot of extras thrown in playing 3 dealers off each other and we are buying new as we are hoping the car will last us a very long time as its a lot to spend. I've asked for a years extended cover on the warranty thrown in but I've seen a lot of bad reports on the 3L diesel engin going bang around 200'000km and arnt quite sure what to do! Last min nerves as its a lot of money to comit to if it goes bang after 4 years!
