Still looking for a cheap 4x4 for winter, pref Hilux, mitubishi, or similar.

The prices have gone up quite a bit in the last few months. If your after a 4x4 just for winter then maybe look at a Fourtrak or Lada Niva as these
are less well known and both perform very well and can be then sold on in the summer. Best to look in the local papers rather than on piston head etc
as there are just too many buyers

Ladas are now pretty scarce, very scarce for good usable ones. more chance of a Fourtrak which are also great but rustbuckets
For a cheap winter 4x4 there are plenty cherokee diesels, reliable and capable. Start looking on ebay and contacting sellers direct with offers rather
than messing about bidding.

The shoguns are spot on in the snow and are cheap as chips!

And make sure its not using / losing water.
Its a very common and well known problem with K series engines. Namely a Head gasket job (that rubber seal slips out of place).
If its ignored its a scrap engine (usually)
Good Luck.

I hope so, problem I am having is its difficult to value.
A bog standard Vit of this age is usually very rotten, this has no rot.
It has a £400 set of tyres a £1000 hard top you know the story its cost a few quid.
