Never had a problem with it, had a td5 before 2.5 and the power is much the same. Economy is much the same too 20-22 mpg. Bought it new and done 28,000 miles, they hold thier price well too, in fact mines gone up in price over the last year, will never get the £35,000 I paid new though. Good toy for out the Moor though too.

Good machines, just check for rot etc. Ours is a seven seater, wish I hadn't now as its not like you can remove the two back fold down ones without a lot of hassle, so take up alot of room even folded. Old td5 was a 12 seater, they can't make em like that any more. We live right on the sea and a lot of off road so get it waxoiled every two years, costs around £100 but worth it to stop the rot. 

Let me know how you get on ?

The engine unlike the ones in the ranger are ok as land rover only get the block and put oil pump etc on them selves,the transits that had that engine all got a recall on dodgy oil pumps but the rangers didn't and plenty are blowing up due to poor quality fans on the oil pump.Look on any ford ranger forum and your'll see a lot are going bang at 50,000 + or just when warrenty runs out and ford know about the pump issues but are doing feck all for ranger owners,no way would i ever own a 2012 _ late 2015 ranger no matter how little it cost as it will go bang one day...

      Read a few of the threads here regarding the good old TD5 and I must say even with all the faults I'm still smitten. (Or is that raving mad? not sure.....)
       
      Just picked a 2000 TD5 Auto, with all the bells and whistles, head gasket blown so in for a replacement gasket, skim and pressure test, or at worst head, block etc.
       
      Also thinking of doing the other nasties whilst I am at it, you know:-
       
      Cam chain
      Injector wiring loom
      oil pump bolt
      Water pump
      EGR removal
      Injector seal replacement
       
       
      So it will be good bye to my trusty Range Rover V8 in a few weeks, I had fun fitting an new V8 unit from RPI engineering 28k ago, so someone will get a nice 4 x 4 for sure.
       

      The objective is to have a reasonably priced TD5 Auto in a few weeks which will be by new 'Devil I know' go anywhere motor.
      Anyone else got anything to add to the above list whilst I am under the hood

      Folks,
       
      I'm still looking around for a 4x4 and I've clocked a Discovery with decent mileage, good price and in good condition,
       
      Is there much to worry about with these wagons, any serious reliability issues? I know it will be fairly heavy on fuel but other than that, anything to look out for?
       
      Cheers
