    Advice wanted Re: Buying a Series II TD5

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to the landrover world and I am looking to buy a Series II TD5 for up to $20,000. I unfortunately had my 99 V8 Disco written off recently by a wayward builders trailer...

    I am after a turbo diesel for the range when touring and fuel availability when in the boondocks. I also want to use the vehicle for moderate 4wding and towing moderate loads.

    Any advice on what to look for or where to look? I have looked at a couple on carsales and trading post and they seem to vary a bit.

    Any advice would be appreciated, as I said I dont have too much of an idea of what I am looking for.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

    You will love it. God they are good trucks. I still get amazed at times off road at what they will do..they can make a bad line look good.

    Congrats!
