Awesome machines. Comfortable, pretty good off-road too if you get the decent tyres. Should be able to find one that's had the air suspension replaced and had springs put on there instead.

These go wrong quite frequently (the air suspension) and the cost to get it fixed is often more than the vehicle is worth. Some had BMW engines too, although that could have just been the diesel ones) - so no cambelt, they used a chain instead.

just been looking at the suzuki ingis 4wd would like something a little bigger but looks good for power and mpg.
