The other thing to factor in is that the UK LR is starting to recommend the td5 engined disco and defender over the 300tdi versions as best platform for "overlanding". While Australia is a different market to the UK I still think that view that the td5 d2 represents the sweet spot for a budget 4x4 tourer will become more prevalent. That might help prop up td5 values for a few years longer.
I agree :)Quote:

That was prop up falling values, not inflate them to D3 levels ;)Quote:

I've seen similar V8s asking 6-7k more than that, with more kms.Quote:

Sure, put a decent exhaust on it and it sounds okay.
But still no turbo spool :cool:
