If you need to enter a low emission zone like London, you'll need a td5 registered after 2002. The 300tdi isn't allowed in - unless it has a particulate filter. Td5's can be mapped my respectable tuners to 200bhp & about 400 nm of torque, so towing isn't a problem ever.

My advice would be to not spend your full budget on the vehicle and keep some back for repairs. My mechanic who is a land rover specialist reckons your sometimes better buying cheaper and spend the rest of the cash putting it right. At least you know those problems are fixed and done with!

I have a TD5 which I think is a far better engine and goes a lot better after chipping and hybrid turbo!

Hi Jon, my td5 was mapped the gods at JE engineering.

I've had the stage 1 map (£275) - 175 bhp & 395nm torque, tempted by the stage 2 map (£850) - larger intercooler, race air filter & map gives 195 bhp & lots of torque :) Matt.

I had jap stuff then went on to a LR defender 90 is was a grate pice of kit off road but I was constantly repairing it I don't know whether it was an older vehicle (1994) 200tdi or not. Subsequently back with the jap stuff and more than happy. my advice would be to make sure the bulk head and rear outriggers are solid and good look. :001_smile:
