I reckon you will be very happy with it, nice vehicles and rather quick for something as heavy as it!
What sort of spec millage etc?
stuvy:
After reading the Td5 post particulary the bit about £200 wheel bearings, I just wandered how many people have had this problem, especially the cost involved?????
CNorman:
Its difficult because if i really wanted a td5 and did a fair bit of on road then i would still buy a td5 and pull the bearings out and regrease them etc. But both the people i know with td5s have had troubles with wheel bearings and apparently they are much harder to replace than those of a 300 although i have never done it.
Me and my mate got into offroading and wading etc although neither of us really did deep stuff and had no snorkal.
I had a wheel bearing collapse on my 300 and replaced all 4 corners. The cost was around £80-00 for the bearings and a further £20ish for a stub axle.
My mates td5 was around £850 for bearings and then he had to have fault codes etc cleared at a cost of around £60.
That was enough for me although im sure if you have the time you could get into a routine of stripping the bearings and cleaning/regreasing them.
