WTF is a TD5 ?

Be patient and gentle with me ladies. I was speaking to a guy yesterday and he has a TD5 Discovery which is returning 30mpg with just under 200,000 on the clock.This impressed me, I quite fancy one in the future. I looked on Ebay but I see there are TD5 Defenders. Does TD5 refer to the engine? Please excuse my ignorance but I am a Series buff and would like to venture into the dark world of more modern Landies! Please feel free to take the **** but I wont sleep tonight again if I dont find out.

Erm, my Defender has a TD5 enjun. It has a Turbo, it uses diesel and it has five cylinders, or are you taking da pith?

Oh and it's made by BMW.

Honestly not extracting the urine but I couldnt understand why 2 different models are called TD5. Presumably TD is Turbo Diesel, whats the 5, it doesnt have 5 pots does it?

Just read the Jerremy Clarkson bit, 5 pots it has. Thanks , will sleep better tonight.

As said in my post above, yep 5 pots, all the more space to grow flowlers or veggies.

If we told you, we'd have to kill you

Just one of them silly words from childhood I forget not to use in public occasionally.

Flowlers
Fox's paw (fou pas)
toca toca (coka cola)
inkybaker (what my uncle used to call an incubator, and I've never forgotten it)

Hehe..my mother got a new telly recently and proudly declared 'Its state of the Ark' !!

lol, my mother was the one who always said foxs paw for fou pas

Although her proudest moment was when meeting an exs' mother for 1st time, seeing her chrysanthemum and saying 'What a beautiful clitoris'...

Not much makes me laff, but that did. :hysterically_laughi

I'd never be able to spell crissanthemum

Clarkson spouts twaddle - a Defender isn't made for going fast!! And I bet the TD5 would have towed his horses up that hill!

"Clarkson spouts twaddle"

most sensible observation on here for a while.

I thought he was very popular, but I've never had much time for him myself.
