I well remember getting the TD5 and the doom mongers saying it would be a nightmare of a thing because of the electronics but I never had anything other than complete reliability.
I am toying with getting another 90 and am torn between the 300TDi, TD5 and the TDCi. I loved the TDCi because it had a brilliant heater, very un Land Rover like. It will have to be in Keswick Green however so unless I get a complete respray on a 300 it will have to be a very late TD5 or a TDCi. Decisions decisions. :-
Yep, they are all pretty good. My neighbour is a farmer and he swears by his 300 Tdi. I've had over 100k miles out of my Td5 with no trouble at all. We have taken TDCi versions around the Eastnor Castle and they were excellent, powerful and civilised.
Which would I go for if I were looking to replace? A 2003-2006 Td5, without a doubt. The TDCi is probably a better vehicle, but it suffers from very high VED compared to the Td5.
