Thread: TD5 or new 2.4 ??

I wouldn't have either

But in all seriousness, the joys of a late TD5, is all common problems have been seen and dealt with, so if you were to allow yourself and extra 3k after purchase at a rover specialist to "go over everything, no expense spared" or do it yourself, oil pump bolt, oil in loom, chain tensioner etc etc, not that they have many common problems and once that's done, buy a few cable ties and saddles and spend a day in the engine bay fitting everything properly, and fit atleast a low coolant alarm, you'd get a pretty reliable unit


Oh don't forget a spare fuel pump




TPS




Crank angle sensor




Nanocom

Or buy an Isuzu and take a spare fan belt,rad hoses,wheel bearing kit,a uni,water pump,filters etc etc.Same crap different smell. Pat

They are all things you'd take regardless of vehicle....well not the water pump

I'd travel in anything to be honest, if you break down, its part the fun, makes for a great story

Why has no one mentioned that the 300tdi is the best Landrover ever made!

Because you'll open a can of worms. Pat
