Hi Guys,

Have pretty well decided to buy an auto diesel 4.2 VX, to replace my Honda Shuttle and Range Rover with a single vehicle. Hence am on a steep learning curve as to which specification to go for. Budget max is really £10K, so looking at 92-95 models.
Essentials are Auto, ABS, A/C, leather, 7/8 seater, underfloor spare. Do not like imports, but was much impressed with a fridge I saw on one!
Am I right in thinking ABS only came in in 95?
Also I think 24V also appeared in 95 - does anyone know the power difference between 12 & 24V?
MPG info would also help me, as would any advice as to which years are best? I guess go for the latest I can afford, but 10K does seem an awfull lot of money Confused

Thanks for any help,

Phil
