Yes it is a TD5, it's still not particularly quick or powerful but a great improvement over the 200tdi.

what are them renaults like for parts?

[Rich2484]

There ok. We had to source from a components shop. They are the same engines as a Renault master van. The rest of the truck. Body chassis etc is easy to work on and welding it up. Had to have an exhaust made up by a garage once as we couldn't source one.

 

The vans have been awesome and had no breakdowns in them.

 

D a tree surgeons will tell you more. I'm just going by driving them and keeping them maintained.

Navarra dead pretty much wee front end shunt into an asshat taxi drier

Found cheap lwb shogun 2.8 for 340 quid new front tyre found in scrappy for free, cv boot and bit of home exhaust fabrication and it's now MOT'd.owes me less than 500 squidberrys should do for now

Front end shunt is per definition driver error regardless of who's in front?

 

Good luck with your new wheels anyway, any pics?

[Yeti]

Aye got it in one was my employers fault either way with any rear shunt. taxi driver set off at lights no indication banked it to the left at last minute Navarra locked up in wet slid and tapped him at less than 15 mph navarra fell apart in a heap of plastic and front end bits taxi had silver scratch on bumper lol.

Ill chuck some pics up in next few days when get on pc.It's roomy enough with seats out plus has locking rear diff.Either way it works stops and starts just drinks diesel sadly
