Which 4x4 do I go for? - PhilDews

As some of you will have seen in a couple of previous post, I'm wanting another 4x4. Having tried going back to a car, I miss the drive of the Terracan (or more precisely its space). Therefore I now have a shortlist:-

Nissan Patrol 2.8TD - 99/00 ish @ £5-6K
Isuzu Trooper 3.0D - 99-01 ish @ £5-7K
Toyota Landcruiser 3.0D - 98 - 00 ish @ £5-7K
Range Rover - 98-00 ish @ £5-8K

Others that I thought about

Navara Pickup - bit too basic
Ranger/L200/Hilux - ditto, for the year

Does anyone have any experience of running these?
What are the autoboxes like?
Servicing costs?

Any reallife experiences would be nice to hear, especially anyone who has used one off-road!

Thanks
Phil
