I am trying to work out if i should buy an F reg 2.5 td or get a slightly newer 200/300tdi if i want to get some more performance out of it.....what do you reckon
Would you not be better off getting a 10 year old corsa ?
A 2.5td and 200tdi will both get between 25 and 28 mpg but a 2.5td will take to vegetable oil and bio fuel better than a 200tdi.
No it won't the 200tdi will run better on the veg oil.
I'm assuming you've seen an F reg landy somewhere with a 2.5td in. If it's any good and the price is right and you like it buy it. If not keep looking until one you are happy with turns up. Asking questions like this on here will get you as many different answers as there are Land Rovers as everyone thinks their particular type is better than everyone elses. Unless you can find someone who has extensive experience of owning the various different engine/body/whatever combinations and is willing to give you the benefit of their wisdom all you're going to get is opinions and as we all know opinions are like arseholes, everybody has oneI am trying to work out if i should buy an F reg 2.5 td or get a slightly newer 200/300tdi if i want to get some more performance out of it.....what do you reckon
For distance driving and occasional green laning I'd go for a disco tdi, you'll appreciate the higher comfort they offer after a long trip. Also you don't have to have the stereo turned up full blast or have to shout to be heard over the noise of the engine, in a disco. Defenders are more fun but Disco's are more sensible. and definately go for the Tdi over a TD. more torque and better on hills and motorways. I get about 32mpg on a motorway run in the disco.
Mine doesn't leak or smell either and the heater works fine. Nothing has fell off yet and the only thing that makes it noisy at speed is the bfg muds. Come to think of it after driving a series 3 about for a bit it feels positively luxuriousI'm starting to think i am a problem with my 110 - i only need the stereo turned a quarter up to hear it on the motorways and the heater is more than warm enough, it doesnt leak or smell of oil and bits dont fall off it - have i got a badun?
