The one I have is a 04 2.2dci but it has done 125000 miles, it has been well looked after at a main dealer so I should think any recalls have been done and there is no sign of turbo problems. I have heard the pirelli are good and the avons at that price are well worth a look thanks for the...

Hello all I am thinking of going to look at a 2001 TD4 with 43,000 on the clock I know they changed the ird ratios in late 2001 but how can I tell if this one is ok.. Thanks in advance for any advise. Mark

Just been to see a 2004 facelift TD4 at £5000 I thought to good to be true and yes I was right what a pile of crap:mad:, first thing I checked was the dipstick no oil on it and these people were trying to sell cars.

Thank you for that I wasnt sure about autos, as in the old days (20 years ago) autos in any car were a bit dodgey,but things move on and get better.:D:D:D Mark

Thanks for all the info guys its good to be back everyone thinks I must be mad but I just think they are great cars, its good to know the date the ratios were sorted so I dont need to go for a facelift car so I may go looking for a slightly older one with lower mileage.its also good to be back...

Thank you for the reply it is most helpful, when they changed to the TD4 did they also sort out the IRD/VCU problem or was that later ,at the moment I am looking at a 2004 TD4 it has service history upto 84000 and it has done 116000 the history is missing for the last 2 years because its a...

I did think of a disco at first but its more car than I need and the wife used to like driving the old freelander, also running costs play quite a large part. Mark
