If it was my money I would choose from one of these. They can suffer a lot of electrical problems if you go for one full of all the gadgets though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 i have a td5 and i have to say its never really let me down, and i have it 7 years now, i service it regular, and i find that helps as friends who have the same are constantly in the garage, if the milage is around 100,000 Ask has the fuel pump been changed as it will go normally between 100 and 120 thousand, Its the only major trouble i've really had, and brill in the snow, and offroad, the hilux who also be another realy contender in my book, Snap.
