If we like to compare both vehicles in this poll I would suggest comparing the 1997-98 Tdi300 with the 1999-2000 Td5 because they are closer in age

High up in Africa yes. In all the neighbouring countries to South Africa you will be ok with in a few days. Excluding Angola.
I would still prefer the TDI variants as there will be more 2nd hand spares all over where TD5 spares will be rare.

Oh and my change in signature is due to Hendrik's signature.:D
