Choice of Landrover
Hi all,
The time has come for me to replace my ageing 200Tdi Landrover Defender. The question is: Do I replace it with a 300Tdi Defender or the new Td5? I'd be especially interested in hearing from people who use Td5's in Africa. I use my truck for a combination of work and pleasure, all over Southern, East, and Central Africa, and the Defender Station Wagon is the perfect design for my use. Please, no idiotic pro-Toyota comments... I've heard them all ;-) Regards, Marc |

It got very high mileage, had lots of torque, and ran like a top. It was a new engine, of course, but I asked at a LR shop where they were reparing a broken brake caliper what the best LR engine was, and they universally agreed that the Td5 was the best. --riverman |

I'll second that. |
