I dont know y so many people don`t like the td5??? Yes they have electrics but I only had 1 problem and that was a bad earth. you can buy a small comp to read the ecu for £250. Servicing is straight forward just like any other. it might be just me but I cant fault a td5. Anyway all newer cars...

Td5 all the way!!

does that mean my 2001 pickup will b £400?????:eek: its march 12.

ye managed to find out what it was. there was bad earth connection on chassis. cleaned it all upand going fine now. The handbrake lever was shorting out when i moved it. only had to touch it really and the thing stopped lol. Y should`nt you use wd40???? I didnt by the way lol.

ok td5 going fine til i came home for half hour. went back out and she wont start! dash lights that come on are only oil and battery. not ecu and heaterplugs which do normally come on with bat and oil wen ignition at position2. also the fuel pump not buzzing! engine does crank over but thats it...

i've had my td5 just over a year now and love it to bits. i havent had any complaints upto now!! (touching loads of wood lol)

get a td5!!!!!!

I dont like revving like that lol. got it into my head i might blow it up donig that. So it is genuinly ok to rev the b*ll*cks off a td5!!!:D
