Following my wifes recent chassis bending session  :roll:  our 300tdi xs has been written off!! Gutted!

Not sure what to replace it with, not sure whether to go with a pre 2000 td5 or to have another 300tdi, cos its what we know and love.

any comments would be greatfully received, and also hints and tips on what to look for when purchasing!

many thanks

TD5 gets a bad press, but there are loads of them out there and it's one of LRs success stories.  I'd have a DII if I ever had the money.
That siad, find a 300 TDi that's solid and it'll be a good truck, I like them.
either way I'd hope a 2,499cc TDi engine will always avoid too high a tax bracket, if gordonhammer them int he budget he'll get every white van driver too and that'll loose them an election for sure.

td5 are a pain in the <edited>.ive never heard a good word for them from dealers or specialists

300's are cheaper to run and more reliable, find a goodun and stick with it, but get a mig set and get practising  :rolleyes:

how about finding a 300tdi with a blown engine and put your engine from the chassis bent disco into it? This way you will know the engine already and have a newer disco!!  ;)

Well muddy, that was the plan, until yesterday, when the engineer rang my wife and told her its a cat B and we couldnt have it back!!!  Marvelous!

So after a bit of a dissappointing payout, this is the scenario, do we get what we know or try something a tiny bit different!

cheers for your responses guys
