2.5N/A or TD?

(1/3) > >>

Leigh:
So what are the pros and cons of each and which is best out of the N/A or the TD?

Cheers

TD has a bit more power but has a reputation for being unreliable - can't say I agree with that cos I've had a few and never had any bother but maybe I'm just jammy or maybe its because I like to service my vehicles regularly :wink:
Mate of mine has a 90 with a n/a (and it's not for sale either ! :lol: ) and it plods along fine style as long as you are in no particular hurry - off road it's fine cos mainly in low box by then and lower power is not so noticeable
Fuel consumption is about the same so thet's not really an issue
Don't mess about with these smelly things Leigh - you know you want a V8 :lol:

Leigh:
I knew one of them had a reputation for being unreliable but wasn't sure which one it was.

And yes I know........should have had your 110 last year :wink:

A V8 would be great  :D

v8kenny:
Have a good look Leigh - there's plenty out there
a lot of cr8p and some good 'uns - I ALWAYS buy on condition and never on age , you can usually get a feel for whether it's been looked after or not by talking to the owner
The mate I was telling you about with the n/a diesel - it's a 1990 on a g plate csw with dog guard and m/t tyres - had been lying in a field for a year and needed 2 outriggers and all the brakes stripped and cleaned (rear crossmember had been changed about 2 years ago)
Total cost with a fresh mot including purchase £480!!!!!   :shock:
Jammy git

davidlandy:
if would steer clear of the na and the td and go for a tdi, they are just so much better - if u look thru the adds affordable ones do appear these days.

just look in autotrader or something like that - steer clear of the lr mags if u want a real bargain!

you have a pm.
