I also saw a Twingo Renaultsport that looks like a laugh
I suspect the Scenic will be the most comfortable
But I have to admit it's brown...

Oh and same as before - no bloody Renaults.
Or Fiats.
Or Lamborghinis.
Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."

So, what car can we find for emp for £3.6k?
No, seriously. Plenty of low-mileage diesels on there at 50+mpg, and comfort is pretty much their reason for being.
They were otherwise decent engines, and a lot of them have been modified to remove the stupid design flaw that was, no doubt, a function of Rover running on a design budget that wouldn’t buy an IKEA coffee table.
He loved it- I was never really a fan, but at the price they are now it seems a pretty decent option.
I wonder how parts supply is?

Definitely a lot of car for the money.
Possibly a bit too refined and classy for Emp though?
They would either fail because they did overheat, as they were prone to various minor coolant leaks, or due to age (it was very rare for them to last past 60-80k without needing a head gasket).
Landrover actually came out with a new MLS (multi layer steel - what pretty much every modern head gasket is) head gasket, and reinforced ladder frame that cured the distance limitation.
The K-series was a really advanced engine for it's era, with one of the best power to weight ratios for a naturally aspirated engine, however it was killed by Rover's unwillingness to fit a low coolant warning, or to adopt a new head gasket.
X type was essentially a Mondeo with a different body and the option of 4 wheel drive.
I'd treat any like I'd treat a 12 year old Mondeo. I'd be looking very carefully for rust, as Ford were still using woeful rust coatings at that time.
