I am thinking of a trip to Iceland for a week in October - hiring a 4WD and exploring the west and south. Has anyone been this time of year? Will the weather still be OK for driving etc.?

I was there in early to mid October and it was lovely; it does, of course, get dark pretty early. It was in the 40's most of the time...but any time is a good time to go to Iceland.
I agree that anytime is the right time to go to Iceland
Weather is highly variable at that time of year. I was there last year in late October, and we experienced warm sun, rain, snow, and hail - all in the same day!
Higher altitudes and further inland areas may be impassable, even as early as October.
