from the top
oil in injector loom spreading to the ECU giving a miss & poor performance,
front shock bushes going after 40k (rattles about for n aft)
ACE pipes leaking along with ACE block
check the flywheel has either been changed (recall) or its outwith the batch with the dodgy flywheels
rear brake calipers can stick
fuel leaks from filter housing/filter bottom & fuel block on engine,(crawl underneath & look up at the starter,if its damp/dripping with fuel then fuel block needs changed)
abs/HD/TC lights on,if all 3 are on its a sensor thats spat the dummy,can change the sensor but 9/10 need a new hub @ circa £200
steering box's leaking,Tbox & G box leaks ALA disco 1 & defenders
if theres a knock/clunk from underneath could be either ARB bushes or the shock bushes
cant think of anything else

also if iy hesitates in 4th/5th accerating from 45mph upwards in 4th & 65 upwards in 5th & feels like its lacking some puff,its probably the wastegate stuck so it over boosts & goes into limphome,had that today on a defender & took 15 min to fix
suggs:
i had a TD5 manuel was a good car but im not keen on diesels other than for off road, i swoped my TD5 for a 4.0 V8 auto and love it defo best car ive had but i dont do a lot of miles so mpg isnt an issue, however if you do go for the TD5 what ever you do dont drive the V8 as you wont want to drive the TD5 again...

Know what you mean........................got a V8 110 pick up and a V8 classic r/r and my last 110 was a V8 oh and the one before that - need I go on........................................................................ :D
the loon:
if you go with V8 and LPG dont get caught like I did when I bought my first land rover....
Make sure you get the saftey certificate for the LPG as its really difficult/impossible to get insurance.

Took 6 months and eventual thret of court action to get that resolved with the crooked car dealers.
