Is yours Euro 5 or 6? Assuming 5?
Unfortunately, the 700 is still cheap when you consider what other European nations have to pay. Set up a direct debit and forget about it. Defender 110 2.4 TDCi Utility Station Wagon.

Just don’t do what the average public do and give your high tax car away as px, then spend £20k ontop of trading that vehicle in just for a cheaper tax band car  Defender 110 2.4 TDCi Utility Station Wagon.

G3Z, Completely agree!
My wife often laments the amount of money I spend on the D3 and granted, I get her point. However, I bought it 3 years ago for £4,200 at 140k and no service history so I knew what I was getting into. I'm in about £12k in total which seems nuts but lots is preventative repair and some where things went wrong.
However, I do now have a pretty well sorted D3 with importantly, a decent chassis without any major rust to be concerned about and considering what it does in terms of practicality (family of 5, touring caravan etc etc), it's still a complete bargain!
Also - I'm really starting to hate all new cars. The touch screens and EU regs on safety bongs and systems really puts me off regardless of money. I really enjoy keeping this old tank on the road. My green credentials are balanced back by my electric bike and scooter which I use for most city transport.

I pay €1250 here in Ireland for my 7 seater but most D4's are 5 seater commercial class which means that it is €333, if you have the VAT number / herd number etc but so many are run privately AT RISK. However, there were a few early years of the D4 that a 7 seater is €2,200! I thin the 2010 to 2012 6 speed ones.
