Ten k car recommendations?

The Freelander 2 is a very capable 4x4 and its offroad capability surprises many people. Be aware that LR produced a 2 wd version (I think from 2011) which is more economical on the road but won't get you across that wet grass field.

In the offroad training we used to deliver, we were fortunate to drive a lot off different makes of 4x4 and many, that people would probably consider to be 'soft' off-roaders, were very capable - usually just limited on ground clearance.

Definitely 100% don’t get a Peugeot they use wet belts instead of dry timing belts nothing but trouble I’ve had with mine, it’s the same with Vauxhall.
Any fords dam difficult to get parts for them these days. Even the fords parts garage near me, said none of them would drive a ford anymore.
Mechanic friend said to me to avoid 1.0 litre engines so under powered having to rely on turbo’s , engines don’t last.
Limited eh !
