 ???ive not found mine yet,lookin to spend up to 3k but not settled on the one i want ,i keep gettin grief from people sayin chelsea tractor,wifes school truck,the ride is like a boat,uncomfortable over distance,unreliable,big fuel bills.............but you know what i say?THEN YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY ONE AND DONT ASK ME TO PICK YOUR DIY PURCHASES!!!!I LOVE EM!

[shoggyv6]

if it's what you want mate then get it bought regardless of the cost.

[LePaj]

You know you want one otherwise you wouldn't be here  Go for it - it's the best vehicle I have ever owned  yes there are some downsides like fuel so if you have a long commute to work it's not ideal - but for a weekend leisure and off road vehicle it ticks all the boxes for me

I've had mine for a few weeks now, bought a 1998 2.8TD LWB with the wider track (won't tell you what I paid for it, you might be sick  ).  So far so good.  Was plenty comfortable on the 4 hour slog down the M6 after picking it up, ride/handling etc is a bit agricultural but mainly because my other car is a sporty Italian so it's never going to compare well on that front.  Fuel is about what I'd expect from a engine this size pulling a truck this size, no idea on mpg, I try not to think about it.
It's a quite fun to drive though once you get used to it, great looking down on Discovery drivers (which I used to do anyway but not because I sat higher ) and looking forward to some really nasty weather so I can go about my business with no worries.

[TinyTim]

S'funny isn't it

I've had loads of brand new cars bought for me over the years

None made me grin like a 10year old Pajero did   

Just look around at all the other miserable gits on the road   

[loncbt]

well got my 94, lwb shogun 2.8td leather 7 seater bout a mth ago, NO history with it and 144000 on the clock, apart from a over heating prob (i hope is resolved now) its great fun, its totally different from driving a car and is very calming ( helps me with the road rage therapy hahaha ). the engine is very sweet even at that mileage but i am giving shogy a total overhaul and full service to make sure  so go for it bud. if u think its wot u want then there isn't much better 4x4 out there than these for complete use - family car, off road, work horse, towing, commuting (if u take it easy with the speed lol).
have fun

I bought mine last september mostly out of need rather than choice(needed a seven seater)but its one of those cars I've always wanted to own and is my first venture away from Fords in 15 years of driving.My choices boiled down to one of these or a Ford Galaxy and after hearing the horror stories from the Galaxy OC forum my decision was easy.

I must confess I used to drive a Mk1 2.5td 91 vintage many moons ago while working for a friends uncle and I've wanted one since but this was the first rear excuse I had.I must confess that if I had needed a car for to and from place of work use as well as social use the Galaxy would have won purely on the economy front but as we only do a maximum of 5000 miles a year that was no worry.

So far a very happy experience even better when I fixed the air-con!

Plus I payed literally peanuts for mine.95 2.8td LWB in Blue over silver with 120,000 miles not km on clock but later spec with white dash and cat1 alarm and Kenwood 6 disc heat unit already fitted plus long Mot for £2500!
