ive got a 300tdi and a D4 but have seen a td5 local that I’m interested in to replace the 300tdi in the future....apart from the chassis is there anything else that I should know about...cheers
chassis is the main thing everything else is fairly straight forward to fix if its running driving and has no lights on and is the right price buy itive got a 300tdi and a D4 but have seen a td5 local that I’m interested in to replace the 300tdi in the future....apart from the chassis is there anything else that I should know about...cheers

its the rear section of the chassis where the tank is thats prone to rust can be repaired but you have to take the tank off which is a pain just finished doing one nowMainly the road, towing ect. I will keep the 300tdi for off road
Yea think that’s pretty standard from what I’ve read...was just wondering what else could go wrongits the rear section of the chassis where the tank is thats prone to rust can be repaired but you have to take the tank off which is a pain just finished doing one now
Check there is no oil in the injector wiring loom, take the clip off at the ECU and check. It was an early problem that is easily solved, but can bugger up the ECU.
From my knowledge TD5 gave alot of bother in the head, think it was head gaskets.
Does it have a centre diff. lock as all proper Land Rovers should have ?
Cheers I’ll give them a check overOnly the early ones, but no lever fitted, but quite easy to fit a lever and linkage out of a discovery 1.
@Northeastfarmer sunroofs have a habit of leaking, not uncommon to find them sealed up with silicon. Easier than removing the headlining and fixing the drain channels.

Maintained by an absolute enthusiast...only sold it cos he has had a knee operation and has bought an auto Range Rover
Chassis very good, brake pipes replaced with braided ones, brand new battery, brand new k+n filter...the veichle has wanted for nothing...5 brand new tyres and wheels just been power coated....I don’t like the wheels though...so will look for a different pair on eBay when I’ve saved up
Never seen a 14 year old Land Rover so cleanThon is a Minter !
