Going from a TD5 to a 300TDI?
PUX:
i would go with building ur dream rover matey we have td5 and tdi300 safari's 110 at work and i prefer the 300 anytime as the td5's we have are nothing but trouble :D go with wot u feels right and its nice to be able to work on ur own truck with out having to plug it in to a pc :D :wink:
Ollie:
What you need is one of these =P~
I can't afford a TD5, so have no idea how they drive, and am not interested.
The 300 is a great and proven engine, good enough for me. Laila is in excellent condition and am slowly working through a list similar to yours, having already completed most over the last two years.
Go for it, make the vehicle you really want, you won't get many chances like this \:D/

Well I certainly have food for thought now!
The TD5 is a fantastic machine but Ollie is right, I won't get a chance to do this again and make the Land Rover I really want.
Because of the Search and Rescue Team I cannot be without a Land Rover for any great period of time, hence why I'm thinking of getting one of the reputable firms to basically provide what Land Rover can't - a dead simple Defender as a long-term ownership "package". I can then swap straight over rather than mess about trying to sell one and buy the other.
As long as what Foleys, Nene Valley or whoever supplies is solid, rust free and has the major mechanicals, body and electrics sorted out I can do the rest myself.
I'll see what Foleys say first and then take it from there.
And Laila looks fantastic 8)

That explains why I had to sort out the rust on the rear crossmember. On a two year old Land Rover :shock:
