Wanted. A Test-Drive In a Td5

(1/4) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
Does anyone have access to one not too far from the Wakefield/Leeds area?
With regard to the thread of mine entitled; 'Which Do I Buy?'

'Drum' has kindly offered to let me try his 110, but as has been pointed out, it's rather modified & will give me a misleading impression.

The main-dealer in Wakefield (Guy Salmon) hasn't even got one on the forecourt, there's a 110 Double-Cab in the showroom, but somehow I don't think they'd get it out for me.

Haven't tried Rocar-Moores (Hudderfield), Ripon Land Rover, Armstrong-Massey (York), Copley Motors (Halifax) yet, as I really want to drive it without a salesman alongside.

'Silkstone 4x4' (Penistone) & 'Simmonites' (Bradford) may be visited next week on my days off

beast5680:
pity your not down here richard theres an independant near me with what looks like every size and shape of td5 on his forecourt at the mo :D

Bush Tucker Man:
A thought had just crossed mind (&, yes, it was lonely :lol: )

'Skywalker' has a 110Td5 (Crew-Cab) & he's (very) local in Wakefield :D

Oh, Dave!!!!................

Edit @ 12:10
'PM' (begging letter :lol: ) sent to Skywalker :wink:

Bush Tucker Man:
Daves 110;
T5 ATV

drum:
Dave's is chipped, so although probably closer than mine it's not
"off the shelf", I know that Farnells at Gusieley have 90 Defender they use as a courtesy vehicle and they let me borrow that for half a day when I was look at buying mine. And I always insist on getting that and not a freelander when mine goes in  :D

Driving mine with 35" Tyres is probably close to driving a standard with a Caravan in terms of power.
