Tartinjock i would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the seven grand bolt failures of the TD5 they are no where near as good an engine as the TD 300 series numurous have head gasket failures arround 90k on the clock.

You've not reminded me, it not a failure I have heard of, I've had a few dealing with the engines. The 300tdi, is a good engine, been working on those daily since '97, although the turbo is prone to failure.
Back to the original post- What have you bought? If anything?

L200 , the only thing i dont like is they have the turning circle of an ocean going liner !!!
TD5 disco very good but as already been said suspension issues (just replaced my air with springs )
Check insurance out.
I ran a quote on Meercat site and cheapest was £700 for a 55 plate L200!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clean License for 32 years, no accidents or claims in that time, no illness, i am 49.
I pay just over £300 for my Freelander.
I was shocked i can tell you. Presume its because its a commercial even though i stated only S.D.P.
Just a thought.
