Both my kids want the TDi, so might keep it, even if I get a new one. Not going to buy second hand after my fiasco with the D2.

Take one for a test drive with whatever your towing hooked up,you'll never go back to a Tdi or Td5. Pat
Well I kept my 98 tdi and got a puma. I have spent a lot recently on my tdi which I have had from new. It's only done about 260k and the to do list does not seem to get any shorter. :( I reckon my repair costs would easily add up to more than 10k in the two years. I reckon it will need another 5k to get it really sorted. I do most work myself and this cost does not include any fancy gear other than a long range tank when I replaced a leaking std tank and some aftermarket aircon to replace the stuffed original. VNT, some new wheels, etc and you could easily spend another 5 - 10k. That's getting pretty close to puma money. The tdi is slow, noisy and not very reliable but I love it. The puma is comfortable, fast, quiet, (relatively) and reliable. But......you will find it listed in the markets section ;)
I must admit that am still thinking about selling them both and getting one of the last Pumas.:angel:
Funny you say that,I was thinking of selling both of mine and getting a disco sport and 130. Pat
After reading similar threads to this one on this and other forums, I went and put a deposit on a new one. I wont see it until April, as they only had metallic painted alloy wheel shod flash ones in stock. I wanted plain white with steel wheels and was prepared to wait. :D
My TDi I just took on a trip to Perth towing my 1200 ish kg trailer, 9000km with only a weep from the oil cooler fittings in the new radiator. Never missed a beat. :)

It's academic for me as I can't afford a Puma BUT I can justify work on the Tdi based on this same reasoning -
