Just joined the forum specifically because I am considering buying a land rover, a 90 TD5.
Looking at what is available I have set myself a budget of around 16K although I can go higher I'm hoping I won't need to. I only need 2 seats so a hardtop would suit my purposes but I would like a reasonable spec with air-con etc. I particularly like the 90 TD5 LE.
It will be used mainly for transporting me to work (mostly motorway) together with site visits (I'm a Project Manager). I usually cover around 15,000 miles per year.
So, a few questions:
1. I know this won't be the ideal vehicle for the motorway but will it cruise relatively comfortably at around 70mph?
2. Approximately how much will a 12 month (vehicle will have covered say 10K miles) service cost?
3. Are there any areas I need to pay particular attention to when looking at one of these?
4. I've seen a TD5 Black LE and like it but would I be better off going for the later 2.4D version?
Many thanks.
