If I buy one of those all singing all dancing motorized dvd players for my td5, will the screen come out far enough to clear the overhang on the dash board, has anyone got one or have experiance of this ?

I don't have a TD5, but I had a dvd/tv/screen system in my Jeep. The profile of the air-vents above stuck out a fair way, but the screen cleared it with ease. 
What you'll find is that the screen section will come out quite a fair bit further than you realise, and will be closer to you than the remainder of the face of the unit (hope that makes sense!). Because the screen has to angle-back and accommodate a number of different vehicles and installations, it will fit in no worries.
They are seriously cool to have. They make waiting in grid-lock traffic fun, you don't mind while the missus "back in 5mins" goes a lot longer, plus drive-thu's at Macca'a are good for a laugh with a porno on... LOL!
Probably the only concern I'd have is that the mechanisms for the screens are a bit fragile for 4x4's, so if you're going to be going over bumpy terrain make sure the screen is retracted. If you don't, then expect to have some serious issues like I did, and while I miss it, the type of driving I do now isn't suited to the rigours a screen would be copping.
