The tdi without a doubt. They are generally regarded as one of the best land rover engines you'll ever be able to get your hands on. 140,000 miles is just about run in, so there's no need to worry about things like engine wear, especially considering it's ex-mod, which means it will have been well looked after. The chassis should also be Heavy Duty (ie. thicker steel) so you're getting a good buy, especially at that price. The TD5's although more powerful, are more troublesome and have a lot more to go wrong electronics wise. The later 300 tdi's (if it is a 300 not a 200) had a fly by wire accelerator peddle, but I'd imagine the MOD sticking to the simpler throttle cable system. Have a good look. If it's a 200tdi, that's even better still!

TD5

Sounds better, more cylinders, more power, more torque, more speed, more tunable, more everything which equals more fun.
