Thread: tdi 300 or td5

I get 11.5L/100km with the auto conversion.

I get 9/9.5lt per 100 outta a Td5 manual

You will use about 10% more fuel with a Td5 over a 300Tdi.

I averaged 10.1 litres/100km from my old 200Tdi Defender over about 100,000kms. However, with 62,000kms on the Td5 Defender so far, I am only averaging 11.6 litres/100km.

300Tdi 110 SW
Best 10 litres per 100km
Worst 13 litres per 100km (towing a high load)
Urban 11.5 litres per 100km

Those figures are calculated over 12 months, 20,000+km.

I get 10ltr per hundred every day in my 2001 defender

Im guessing a TDi is a cheaper re-build option than a TD5.The TD5 hasnt got too good a reputation!!!!!
Happy enough with my TD5 Disco,but as Frenchie says"I dont trust the thing"
Plenty of TD5 HORROR STORYS AROUND.

Reading LRO, it seems 300Tdi maintain an almost unrealistic resale value. They're (according to the LRO article) percieved to be the last of the real Land Rover motors, and there's the comfort of a disticnt lack of electrickery.

The TD5 is a Landy motor,everyone has some idea its a BMW monster.Its a TDi with an extra pot.
They just didnt get it quite rite!!!!!
