The time has come when I need another truck. Not sure at the moment if I need a 110 or 130 double cab. What's people experience with the td5 vs the tdci? My gut feeling is go for the td5 but can't say why, it will be used for towing the chipper/ tipping trailer quotes etc. (My chip truck is a 300tdi I'd like to keep the fleet land rovers).

 

Cheers Mark

Good kit.

Mind you , got diesel in my oil now , hopefully no damage and hopefully just injector seals.

Hi Jon,

 

I'm keeping my 300tdi is got a new chassis and in really good nick assist from the clutch! It will need a new engine in 20k or so. So the new truck is an addition to the fleet for me😁😁.

My old green 300tdi hicap passed it's MOT yesterday, sailed through but needed a ton of welding that took 2 days to do, need to decide if I get rid or keep it as a stand by truck.

 

Unfortunately the VNT kit I fitted to the rebuilt landy has failed (oil seal gone) and it now looks like I have a fight on my hands to get it done under warranty.

Out riggers are fine, it was from the drain holes under the cab right back to the axle, and the a bit on the rear cross member.

I am a bit reluctant to get rid of it as it's mechanically very good, but it does bugger all miles a year.
