old landrover

May 08, 2008 1 Replies

Hello,



I used to own a 1986 ex MoD landrover but sold it late last year. I am thinking about buying a newer one and was wondering what people felt about the TD6 vs TD5 vs TDi ?



R..


Really you'd need to factor in what you are going to do with it (on road daily car, off-road fun toy, or a mostly on-road sometimes off-road sometimes daily car), and of course your price bracket! Plus of course whether you tow much, or want a very quiet car. Finally of course, which landrover, freelander, defender, discovery etc..

The 300TDi is a bit gutless compared to the others unless you increase the intercooler size, but it seems to be the most reliable engine when it comes to off-road use as it doesn't care about water. 300TDi engined machines are likely to be the cheapest too.
